OK, you must be using an older release/branch as this was recently changed.

You can try tracing the bootup to see if/when the networking is started:
Make this change & reboot.
  root@everest-p36:~# sed -i s/VERBOSE=no/VERBOSE=very/ /etc/default/rcS
This will print a line indicating which init scripts are run, etc.

Also, what happens if you try to bring up your network using 'ifup eth0'
instead of 'ifconfig eth0 up;udhcpc eth0'?
