netroot dhclient does not get ip

The 'netroot' option which usually runs dhclient, no longer gets an IP address in Oneiric. This might have to do with a change in behavior of dhclient.

Before, running dhclient without arguments got an IP address on any/all interfaces. Now, dhclient does nothing. dhclient eth0 works. Recovery mode used to grab an IP address automatically at boot. Now in oneiric, it does not get an IP automatically and netroot doesn't get an IP either.
