What is your actual config?

The default dhcp client was switched from dhclient to dhcpcd so if you
have any config that is attempting to set dhclient options thwy will need
to either be converted to dhcpcd variants, or you will need to update the
confug to force dhclient to be used and disable dhcpcd (I would recommend the
former approach, dhclient might not remain available in root in later 
releases.)

That's probably why "/etc/rc.d/dhclient restart" says dhclient isn't
running, it most likely isn't, dhcpcd probably is instead.
