Did you compile your own kernel on the debian box? dhcp-client requires
some kernel options to be turned on, namely CONFIG_FILTER and
CONFIG_PACKET , if you missed these you'll need to recompile.
For the record, here's what I see in syslog for a successful dhcp
request:
Feb 10 08:31:42 mail dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:80:64:34:9f:c0 via eth1
Feb 10 08:31:42 mail dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.0.19.3 to 00:80:64:34:9f:c0
via eth1
Feb 10 08:31:42 mail dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 10.0.19.3 (10.0.0.254) from
00:80:64:34:9f:c0 via eth1
Feb 10 08:31:42 mail dhcpd: DHCPACK on 10.0.19.3 to 00:80:64:34:9f:c0
via eth1
