I guess it is using pump (/sbin/pump) to configure the interface, that is one of the first ~100 processes so I'd imagine it is started when my net card is initialised. Pump is what dpkg tells me is the replacement for dhcpd, but dhcpd is also out there (you can get either from apt-get install).

actualy to get a dhcp address is as simple as typing dhcpcd as root (you don't need to init the interface dhcpcd will do it for you) you should already have a dhcpcd rc file ready to simlink into your run level if you want it to init dhcpcd on bootup since I work in so many diffrent environments

Check out /etc/network/interfaces instead of something like iface eth0 inet static (blah blah blah blah) you will need to use: iface eth0 inet dhcp You should be able to ifdown and ifup and get the interface running right... I don't think you need to compile any extra support into your kernel
