Something is broken now.  If I boot the system (Fedora) it gets to:

Bringing up loopback interface:  RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
Dump terminated
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
....

tg3 device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization

then it hangs because cups won't come up without loopback
