If you are going to ask the Linux community for help, don't rip on it.

So this tells us that you have link so the hardware thinks everything is
happy.

Have you tried running wireshark to capture packets on the network to see if
packets are being sent out?  Is the interface even up?

For example if you are doing udhcpc -i eth0, did you do "ifconfig eth0
promisc up"

I wouldn't spend time on DHCP until you know that the packets are even being
sent out?  Have you tried assigning just a static ip address to the
interface??
