Killing those two processes (and nm-applet, just in case) solved the problem for me too. I could then do 'sudo ifup eth0' to get my network back.

before killing:
chris@promax:~$ sudo ifup eth0
ifup: interface eth0 already configured
$ sudo ifdown eth0
There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid with pid 17362
