For the record, this works for squeeze without NM or WICD - for me.

Check how well or badly dhclient's behaving by changing "RUN=no" to
"RUN=yes" in "/etc/dhcp/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/debug", restarting your
network (in your case, I assume that "service wicd restart" will do it
but I've never used WICD), and checking
"/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.eth0.leases" and /tmp/dhclient-script.debug".
