Hmmm....it looks like 'ifup -a' did not start pump like it
should. What happens if you do 'ifup eth0' instead of running pump
manually? What does /etc/network/ifstate say after you boot but eth0
did not get a dhcp address?
Finally, 'man interfaces' says that pump is only supported on 2.2.x
kernels. Perhaps that is the clue you are looking for? I don't know if
the man page is truthful because I do not use pump.
I'm sorry I have no answers, only questions ;-) I hope this will get
you on the right track.
Cheers!
