Are you executing it from the command line or via init scripts?

via init script, so I can???t "come back" to the commandline ;-)

The dhcp request (it's 'pump' and not dhclient) is running in the background to speed up booting.

What you could do for example:

* execute ip-screen in your initscript and check it's output or use another program to check for current state of network

* grep for something like 'dhclient: DHCPACK from' in the logs

* boot using "grml nodhcp" and execute dhclient/pump on your own

The last method gives you maximum flexibility, so possibly it's a good choice for your needs.
