--- Comment #1 from Rodney W. Grimes <rgrimes@FreeBSD.org> ---
This can be caused by Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on the port that the mac
book is connected to.  If the switch is using the old standard slow STP the
port can be in a down state for longenough after carrier comes up that all
packets are lost during the DHCP process.  If you can check the switch to s=
ee
if you can either disable STP on this port, or set it to the newer standard
faststp.

If that resolves the problem then it was STP interfering, if the problem
remains then something else is occuring.
