Check your /etc/network/interfaces, here's a bit of mine.
auto lo eth0 eth1
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
The 'auto' makes these devices start at boot time. If your eth0 is waiting on
a dhcp server as mine does, there is likely to be a fair bit of delay before
it is actually up.
Never heard of pump I'm afraid.
