2.6.xSMP and IPv4 issues (ifconfig(s))

I re-booted to see what, if anything, would fail on start-up.
I did have a failure, the FA311 NIC card could no longer get an address from the DHCP server???
Seems that the NIC now only "runs" IPv6, and the info I've gathered from
the Net isn't helping me correct this -- I must be searching the wrong
phrase(s).Has anyone else followed this upgrade path and had the same problem? Has anyone else moved to the 2.6 kernel and had IPv4 problems?

I've poked around and added line to certain system files and even gave the card a static IPv4 number -- but nothing has corrected this problem.
ifconfig output? tcpdump of ping attempts? dmesg? --
vda
Ifconfig(s):
Seems that the non-SMP kernel works fine.
Here is the ifconfig;
[root@localhost root]# uname -r
2.6.6-1.435.2.3
[root@localhost root]# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:E3:1D:3F:32

[root@localhost root]#
But the SMP kernel has issues;
[root@localhost root]# uname -r
2.6.6-1.435.2.3smp
[root@localhost root]# ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0

Then I did the static IP number thing, but had/have a communication problem;
[root@localhost root]# ifconfig eth0 down
[root@localhost root]# ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.49 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 [root@localhost root]# ifconfig eth0 up
[root@localhost root]# ifconfig
