    Gary, you were right.  At first I dismissed your solution because I
    reasoned that I had not altered the ipfilter rule set so why would it
    block the DHCP request when it never did before?  But I had run the
    initial DHCP request early during configuration **before configuring
    ipfilter**.

    The actual problem is the lack of a port=68 rule to let the
    lease-response through.
