Well, it doesn't work during a normal bootup either.  If I remove the cached 
info in /etc/dhcpc/ and reboots, the network initialization fails:

Setting network parameters:  [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface lo:  [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface eth2:  dhcpcd[536]: timed out waiting for a valid DHCP 
server response
Determining IP information for eth2... failed.
[FAILED]

If I log in and run /etc/init.d/network start everything works ok:

root@compute-1-1 root]# /etc/init.d/network start
Setting network parameters:  [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface lo:  [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface eth2:  [  OK  ]

I cannot see what it is different when init starts the network from when root 
is doing it.
