Uh, you have called "init_all_network_interfaces()" in you app?  The
network doesn't initialize automatically - precisely to allow for the
flexibility we've been discussing.  I mean, the dhcp thread will manage
your leases *after the interfaces are brung up* but it won't initiate the
bringup.

I do advise staying with the static IP for RedBoot.
