[Gllug] Fedora 16 MAC Address

[Mick Farmer]

Dear GLLUGers,

I'm running on a Dell Inspiron N5030.   I obtain my IP address via DHCP
from my router.  Here's the output either side of a reboot.

$ ifconfig

When booting I get the message

Loading initial ramdisk ...

Could this be causing the problem?
