As Bruce did show: You don't need to have dbus installed for net.* to
work. Also it did work, when you started net.* it manually, without
having dbus installed, right?

I don't know, what did start dhcp on your interfaces, you should check
that. AFAIK your kernel does a automatic dhcp-configuration of your
interfaces when you have set CONFIG_IP_PNP_DHCP. You could try to
disable dbus and check, if your interfaces get up with dhcp again and
then disable CONFIG_IP_PNP or all CONFIG_IP_PNP_*-options and check
again. (If they where activated of course ;)  )

For your net.* initscripts not starting automatically I don't have an
idea other than maybe you forgot to add them to the runlevels right now,
but that would not explain, why they do start after adding dbus...

It would be interesting, to know, what did really happen, so please let
us know, what you find out ;)

Markus
