ThanhVu, I am having the same trouble, regardless wether I use the bcm44 built in module in 2.4.22 or the bcm4400 module. I think it has something to do with the version of dhcp3-client. I have some local deb files (client and common) containing V3.0.1rc9 that i know that work. Having those installed ifup eth0 using dpkg -i results in getting an ip address through dhcp. See log exerpt below..
