Even if it "complaints", as long as it succeeds we are in business.
The logfile /var/log/moodle-instupg.log should end with a line that
talks about 'Success', can you check?

That is normal. Will update it for the release :-)

That might confuse the XS -- let's first make sure we can get it going
with the 3 NICs plugged in, but with the LAN running just on one of
them. Let's leave the 3rd nic unused.

No need to have the AP connected, or anything. The subnet starts at
172.18.96.x but dhcpd will hand out leases there. I would suggest an
IP address on a different subnet actually (10.0.0.0).

How did you test that? ethtool? The connection to the AP will need a
crossover cable unless the NICs are Gigabit.

Only once, but once you run it dhcpd should start ok, and hostname -f
should say the right thing without hand editing of
/etc/sysconfig/network

Ummm, localdomain? that doesn't sound right...

You do need to run domain_config :-)
