This is only partly relevant - RedBoot uses a completely different
network stack than normal eCos applications.  Also, RedBoot does
not use interrupts, which the eCos stacks rely on.

Did your eCos application print anything about the DHCP transaction?
I'm betting that it did not (which would imply you are having trouble
with receive interrupts from your driver)
