That's odd. I don't see the reason why it didn't work from LiveCD if
it worked when installed on the disk.

If you still care about the LiveCD issue, could you run the
"show interfaces" after you configure the interfaces, but before
configuring mfea4. Then please run it again after you try to
configure and commit the mfea4 configuration.
It will be great if you find a way of sending me both outputs :)
I care only about the interface that failed to be configured/started
by the MFEA.

Thanks,
Pavlin
