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.
