Description

I'm not 100% certain that this is an Avahi problem, but here's what's happening.

I'm running a fresh Debian network install on a MacBook? Pro under Parallels. When the Avahi daemon starts, the ethernet adapter loses its IP address. Here's a transcript from an ssh session: 

ron@deb1:/etc/rc2.d$ sudo ./K80dbus start
Password:
Starting system message bus: dbus.
Starting Hardware abstraction layer: hald.
Starting DHCP D-Bus daemon: dhcdbd.
Starting network connection manager: NetworkManager.
Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon: avahi-daemonTimeout, server not responding.

At this point, you can log in to the console and see that eth0 has lost its IP address:

ron@deb1:~$ sudo ifconfig eth0
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:F3:70:5B:B9:81
