Here what happens with a rcnetwork restart

So you see it starting up SHCP4 client and then it says it isn't
running. That is DHCP4

Interesting. I only see DHCP4 on my 11.1 box.

<Start of dhcpcd eth0>
Apr 21 08:44:12 pasta dhcpcd[8700]: eth0: dhcpcd 3.2.3 starting

And here it is some other version.

That's the same one I have on my 11.0 boxes.

So I looked at the things that were installed and there was a newer
version for dhcpd available. Installed that and it now works again.

As I do automagic updates, I think that the update was b0rked and they
have now put out a new update.

If it really was a b0rked updated, you may want to have a look and see
why it didn't pick up the update when it was released. Looking at the
updates repo[0], the last update for the dhcpcd package was 2008-09-23
and 2009-01-26 for the dhcp-client package.
