Vendor 14e4 is Broadcom, whose Linux support in general is notoriously
poor.  (They refuse to release programming specifications for their
hardware.)

Well, that suggests it is not my fault :-).

This may be a lot to ask, but can you tell if the DHCP request is
being sent at all?  What if you bring up the network by hand with
"ifconfig <IP-address>" ?  Can you then use it to "ping"?

The driver you are using is tg3.o, which is an attempt by open source
authors to support these Broadcom chipsets.  Broadcom themselves have
a closed-source driver, but I am not sure it will work with the 2.6
kernel...

You could also ask the Knoppix folks if they have any ideas.
