fuck cisco

so, i put a new card in a 2600. all goes well. i reboot, and a PREVIOUSLY EXISTING AND PROPERLY OPERATING interface loses its ip address and decides to come up in dhcp mode.

GAH! what a stupid fucking failure mode.

i've never seen that before. it took me a while to notice what was going on. it kept looking like some sort of fucked up routing thing on the far end of the WAN link.

it's fixed now. stupid cisco router.
