Well, that's the first point which I think is a problem. The DHCP is
damn volatile. Once I had a lease the other time the network stack just
outright crashed and could not be revived until rebooting the image in
the vbox. Maybe hickups on the image. Maybe vbox itself. These "self
fetching" ebuilds always gave troubles. At last I can't remember any
which did not cause troubles.
