I had this happen to me in FC6. It happened at a very crucial time for
me, and I was so pissed I turned it off and never bothered with it
again -- so it's partly my fault as I didn't file a bug.
It basically ignored the IP it got via DHCP, and set it's own
169.*.*.* IP, quite possibly exactly the one you mentioned. There were
no associated error messages, I only noticed this was what was
happening through useful messages to /var/log/messages.
I have the modem set up to use DHCP, but eth0 was supposed to be static
as are the rest of the machines on my localnet all connected to a little
hub. I still have no clue why it shifted gears like that. Like you,
first looking at the logfile then ifconfig kept showing the bogus IP
address. Thanks, Ric
