Perhaps you used the 'auto' setting on eth0? If so, take it out. Using
'auto' for PCMCIA interfaces will cause the card to fail when coming
up, because the networking interfaces are bought up before
PCMCIA. Without the 'auto' setting the PCMCIA start up will bring it
up right.
Of course, this might not be relevant in your case. Perhaps you forgot
to put the packet and config filters in your kernel too (but I guess
not, since manually starting pump worked, but, ummm...I hear pump does
not need those modules....dhcp-client does....anyway....)
Cheers!
