 Used to reliably get a wired ethernet connection.  Now sometimes, on
 startup, one XO tells me about the ethernet "Network is unreachable".
 Don't know if this became a machine problem as the hardware got older, or
 a race-condition problem as the software got leaner.

 Currently experienceing this (randomly) on 759.  What really seems odd is
 that there are two XOs in the room, and each shows both in its
 Neighborhood View.  Yet neither shows a mesh icon in the Frame (nor any
 other communications icon), so I don't think the XOs are seeing each other
 on mesh.  That leaves only the common ethernet lan connection - yet the
 misbehaving XO is telling me "Network unreachable" (that is, it says other
 ethernet nodes are unreachable).
