Hi there,
your message seems pretty confusing to me...
dhcp-client is supposed to work ONLY with a dhcp server. The dhcp server
assigns to a dhcp-client an available IP address at each connection.
That's what I think this is all about.

missing module = kernel problem
type lsmod or lspcidrake to find out the needed module or reboot your
computer with your old working kernel (you still have it, do you ? ;) and
do a lsmod to find out the missing modules from the first one.

of course, I guess the module is still missing.
