One thing that may have been different: The leases file was large
already before I upgraded to 1.7? In any case, there were multiple
hours that passed between when I installed 1.7 and when I had a working
system (pretty much all day on Friday). Many rounds of booting,
installing on other machines, etc.

@Jeroen: I actually did try rebooting the system once to clear any sort
of network error, since the symptoms appeared very similar to

And that mentioned that reboots tended to fix the underlying networking
error. But, once I figured out the root cause was the dhcp file, I
disregarded that.
