My opinion changed a bit while reading other people posts.
Right now, I prefer something like:
Starting dhclient.
dhclient: New Network Number: ....
dhclient: New blablabla

The problem with 'Starting network daemons: <daemon1> <daemon2> <etc>'
is that if some of the daemons start outputing error messages, (I know 
they're daemons and shouldn't output messages to the stdout/stderr, but 
unfourtunatly a lot of them do it) the user will have more difficulty 
when reading error messages at the console (it's not that difficult, but...). 
And no, I don't want something like what Linux distros do. All that 
colorful messages burn your eyes :P

This is just my 0,02 Euro, anyway :)
