I have tried many DHCP clients here on my machines and they all worked
forking a daemon to the background once the configuration is acquired.
You may try other clients like pump, dhcp3-client (note the 3) or even
udhcpc (haven't tried this one yet, but it surely sound promising, given my
current "hunt" for low memory programs).
Hope this helps, Rogério.
