I found some errors in my /var/log/daemon.log file from the dhclient daemon, 
they looked like this:

Oct 16 20:10:37 potter dhclient-2.2.x: socket: Protocol not available - make sure 
CONFIG_PACKET and CONFIG_FILTER are defined in your kernel configuration!

I checked my kernel config, and sure enough, I don't have CONFIG_FILTER enabled.
I thought that was strictly related to ipfiltering, ipnat, etc. so I didn't 
enable it.

Guess I'll recompile w/ CONFIG_FILTER enabled and see if that fixes my dhcp 
problem.
