However, your comment regarding pump says that it is not 'kernel code' but in fact pump. You saying it never hears anything back is definitely suggestive that the packets are being blocked. What happens if you bring down your firewall and let all packets in, then run /etc/init.d/networking restart? You may have said you did this, already, but I wasn't sure based on your email. If the above works, you need to adjust your firewall rules. If it does not, then I suggest trying dhcp-client or dhcpcd. The former is from ISC, and is what I personally use. In the past, I had problems using pump whenever I tried to restart it, but my understanding is pump works better now-- like I said though, I use dhcp-client now. If you get it to work, but can't get the firewall rules right, I would be happy to help with that if you want to send me your /var/log/syslog file that has the DROPed packets logged. I don't need the whole thing, so just grep out the firewall stuff and send me that.
