Dear Jim, 

If you're looking for how network addresses are assigned, that's a
different subject. It's governed by the /etc/init.d/networking script,
as started by /etc/rcS.d/, based on the /etc/event.d/rcS script. 

It doesn't get to a DHCP client until it reads the related configuration
file, /etc/network/interfaces, I think (based on memory) via the ifup
command.

Good luck,
Mike
