Hey Ward,

try the following:

add to the pxe booted kernel the appendline: ip=all

ipconfig should try to send dhcp requests to all known interfaces, means, it brings all interfaces up and sends out dhcp requests...one of the nics will get an IP and voila it gives you the result.

PS: There are other issues with klibcs ipconfig tool, in combination with real network hardware like cisco and netconfigs with spanning trees and portfast config...etc. but this needs to be filed in another bug.
