I just found the problem.
This is the NEW dhclient.conf file. Notice the "request" line is
empty.
#request nothing: let the server send all the parameters it knows
request;
This is the dhclient.conf as it WAS :
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name,
netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu;
Just REPLACE your dhclient.conf with the old(er) version, or copy
the request line from the above file and you'll be back in business.
Cheers
Frank
