I'm wondering... Withouth DHCP, wouldn't it try to come up on
192.1.1.1? Have you tried that address?

That seems very odd. I wouldn't call it a "link" light in that case.
It must have general ethernet connectivity to initiate a DHCP request.

Just to be sure... Can you run 'snoop -d qfe2' and see that you're even
getting DHCP requests from the device? I don't like that you don't see
a link light.
No requests, nothing for a DHCP server to answer.
