Besides the other hints on this thread be sure to get the packet
filter built in for dhcp if you use the (default) ISC dhcp client.I
can never remember exactly what you need, but here is what works:

shyamal@rattler:~$ /sbin/lsmod | grep pack
af_packet              11848   0
shyamal@rattler:~$ grep PACKET /boot/config-2.4.18-k7 
CONFIG_PACKET=m
CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP=y
# CONFIG_NCPFS_PACKET_SIGNING is not set
shyamal@rattler:~$ grep FILTER /boot/config-2.4.18-k7 
CONFIG_NETFILTER=y
# CONFIG_NETFILTER_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_FILTER=y
CONFIG_IP_NF_FILTER=m
CONFIG_IP6_NF_FILTER=m
CONFIG_PPP_FILTER=y


Cheers!
