I use the same card and used to put it in promisc mode, however, I found this is not necessary. I dumped pump and now use dhclient-2.2.x. This client always gets an IP config, but sometimes I just need to remind it that it's up to get it forwarding: ifconfig eth0 up ...and all is well. I'm curious to see what shows up in syslog for the dhcp process.
