OK, first off, thanks to everyone who took the time to respond.  

Second, I've got it working.

and the solution is weird.  DHCPCD and pump DO NOT WORK.  Ever, with any command line that I've been able to find.

However, DHCLIENT from ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/dhcp/ works just fine.  

Now for the question part.  Any ideas why this might be so?
