dhclient does not work

[Alexey Koptsevich <kopts@astro.psu.edu>]

Hi,

After switching 2.2.20 -> 2.2.22 dhclient stopped working on my machine.
It just smoothly dies. dhcpd on the server machine does not report that
the client requested a lease. The lease file remains empty.

>ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:40:CA:16:45:03
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:1 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          RX bytes:60 (60.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Interrupt:11

And ifup tells that eth0 is already configured.

I still can enable networking via ifconfig/route. I have Intel ethernet
card.  Have not found any hints on the list...

Thanks,
Alex
