First of all, does running `/etc/init.d/networking restart` resolve your
problem? If so, there's some kind of error occurring when the system runs
`/etc/init.d/networking start` (via the /etc/rc${runlevel}.d/Swhatever
symlink). In fact, you might want to check your /etc/rc2.d (Debian
defaults to runlevel 2, IIRC, but grep /etc/inittab for default) to make
sure there actually is a link to the networking script. Although, just
changing your kernel doesn't affect the init scripts, so this probably
isn't it.
If this hasn't fixed your problem, try running `pump -i eth0` instead of
dhclient. I'm pretty ignorant about DHCP clients, and know of no reason
to run one other than the other, except that dhclient used to complain to
me that I didn't have certain kernel networking options enabled and that
pump didn't.
