D -- dhclient worked great for me too until I upgraded the kernel to a custom 2.4.17... I'm wondering if maybe it's got something to do with that I compile the network device driver into the kernel instead of as a module like it is in the 2.2.20 kernel?
So how do I tell ifup/ifdown to use dhcpcd instead of dhclient?? I couldn't even find the package that had dhcpcd... I wound up just copying the executable off of my slackware box.
