I have had a similar experience. After your interface starts, check to
see if dhclient is running. It seems that for some reason, even though I
have BOOTPROTO=dhcp in the interface configuration file, it doesn't get an
address, but if I run dhclient eth1 it gets an address immediately. I
differ in the fact that I am using encryption, and am getting my feet wet
with wpa_supplicant .. which could be part of my issue, as encryption
would have to be finished setting up before I could use that link to get
an address.
