I tuned in this thread late. 

By any chance have you removed bpf from your kernel config? dhclient
needs it. Found out the hard way so I annotated my kernel config so that
I don't forget, again.

# The `bpf' pseudo-device enables the Berkeley Packet Filter.
# Be aware of the administrative consequences of enabling this!

pseudo-device   bpf             #Berkeley packet filter
