Well, I managed to get things to work for me -- using dhclient-beta (or
dhcp-beta-client?) included on the slink kernel, using the .99L drivers for
my 3c905b cards.

Ok let's take it from the top.
Boot your machine into X, forget the dhcp thing for now.
In a term window, su to root and run dhcp. Then, highlight the text and go to

Boy, I hate this... :)
