Thanks for the suggestion I did eliminate the second nic altogether and it didn't seem to make a difference I'm guessing this is easily replicated for others... what I'm most unsure of is why the dhcp conversation isn't "normal" -- is it a NetworkManager conversation in the shipping image or an ISC client that runs? I'm just not experienced with how the in-memory image is built... I can investigate there if somebody can give me a clue on the image generation... Appreciate it!
