Thanks - this does appear to be the problem:

joehill:/lib/modules/2.4.18# dhclient eth0
Internet Software Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.1rc9
Copyright 1995-2001 Internet Software Consortium.
All rights reserved.
For info, please visit http://www.isc.org/products/DHCP

socket: Protocol not available - make sure
CONFIG_PACKET (Packet socket) and CONFIG_FILTER
(Socket Filtering) are enabled in your kernel
configuration!


However, they do appear to be enabled; from
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18/.config:

CONFIG_PACKET=y
...
CONFIG_FILTER=y


Any ideas?
