~$ uname -a
Linux philly 2.4.21-pre3-ben0 #1 Sun Jan 12 18:23:37 EST 2003 ppc
unknown unknown GNU/Linux
~$ apt-cache policy dhcp-client
dhcp-client:
  Installed: 2.0pl5-14
  Candidate: 2.0pl5-14

It works for me with a 2.4 kernel with a not-so-modified Ben default config.

I have recently seen that dhcp-client need some options in the kernel
config to work correctly but I have not investigate further. 
My experience with pump is that sometimes the interface is not
configured and I had to call pump manually. But most of the time, pump
did the job by itself. Since I use dhcp-client everything works all the
time.
