I had the same problem. Mine was with a wireless card, so my exact fix is
probably not yours but this may point the way. I had to load a driver not
autoloaded in 6.0 (wlan_wep.ko) and add an extra parm to the ifconfig:
old: ifconfig wi0 wep wepkey <key string>
new: ifconfig wi0 wep wepkey <key string> deftxkey 1
>From reading of the ifconfig man page I thought that was the default. Many
thanks to Robert Watson for the right answer. I did not have a dhclient.conf in
5.3 or 6.0.
In general - it may not be dhclient, you may need an addition module or some
additional setting on the ifconfig for your card. In my case I think I got an
error about the missing module. I hope this helps.
