This workstation has been connected to  the local network for 4 years until this last upgrade.  I'm getting so fustrated.

Can you do rc-status and see if your network service is up? If not, then try doing: "rc-service your-network-service restart" and post the output.

it is up.  It has always been up.   It has some keepalive heartbeat somewhere in the hardware which is now failing and when the connection starts and restarts, dhcpcd is removing the connection but it doesn't bring it back of .  I though Ahavi was the problem but I removed that and it is still unstable.

If this happened after a kernel update (and reboot), then something changed in the kernel module code. See modinfo e1000e for possible options to tweak (SmartPowerDownEnable seems like a good candidate. If it was dhcpcd then downgrade it.

If you updated kernel and haven't rebooted, then iptables might not work well and block packets to your DHCP serving box. Is that assigning a static IP to your box? If so, it might need a reboot. Try removing "option rapid_commit" from /etc/dhcpcd.conf.

Does dhclient behave the same?

it might seem like that but that is how the education process works.   Since 11-11 there has been 5 kernel upgrades

I didn't reboot the last one, but I doubt it will have an impact on the problem.  This particular machine is a gateway and webserver.  It is not really possible to reboot it weekly in any event, which is one of the reasons I was asking if there is documentation as to the reasons for package changed.  I will need to exclude automatic upgrades to certain packages and access when to upgrade them by hand.

I haven't used it.  It has historically been a problem ap in my experice and vixies DHCP rock solid.  I'm getting troubles with ssh cryptogrraphy as well with a poxy tunnel.  It is adding up to hardware check sum troubles.  I need to reboot that server with the new kernel and see if it continues.  If so, then do as you suggest and try options on the card.

I have made changes to the client side that has stabliezed the dhcpd connection, including giving it a static ip address, added /etc/init.d/net.eno1 and making config changes

[ruben@flatbush ~]$ cat /etc/conf.d/net|grep -v '#' |grep -v '^$'
config_eno1="10.0.0.62/24"
config_eno1="dhcp"
