I gave it a try this morning... unfortunately, it exits with a message to the effect of "interface is not ethernet". There's a patch floating around for version 0.70 which (mostly) makes it work with token-ring, but it won't apply against later versions (and a quick browse through the source seems to indicate that it wouldn't be a straightforward conversion).
Luckily, a gentleman on the linux-kernel list has sent me a patch for dhclient. I can probably try it out tomorrow - hopefully we'll be able to roll from there. Thanx for your suggestion!
