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 with my laptop I don't
normaly have my network card init by it's self.. I have a collection of
scripts that I run based on the network I'm connecting to..
for more information check out the dhcpcd man page it's full of nifty
switches :)
