until about a week ago, when the nic suddenly no longer automatically
got a dhcp address. My work around is to run dhclient etho &. DHCP
connects then. I still haven't figured out why this happened or what
the correct fix is.
You're missing the HWADDR= stanzas in your configs. This tells the kernel which NIC is actually eth0 and eth1 by identifying the MAC address.
