I am using DHCP because I do not control the network here. I create a reservation in a webportal so as to get the same address after reboot (not my preferred method but it is what I have to work with). my problem is not with addressing though. I don't get any link lights until i unplug and replace the cable.
when rebooting remotely via ssh i have tried using the reboot command, and shutdown -r 0. both have the same effect.
what is most curious to me is that when i reboot from the console the network comes up every time, it it only when I reboot from an ssh session that i have network problems. i am able to replicate it locally at the console by connecting via ssh to the localhost and issuing the reboot command.
