As someone (Tomas) let me know by private email, I was thinking about dhcpd,
not dhcpcd (this summer is killing me :-); sorry for the confusion.
So, some things to try:
- be sure dhcpcd is not started by init at startup (you will need
IFACE=none in /etc/dhcp/config for this).
- take a look at your logs; maybe you can find what's happening in your
syslog files.
- if dhcpcd need more time to get a valid IP, you can modify
/etc/pcmcia/network, and add a "-t" parameter to dhcpcd (see "man dhcpcd").
Gook luck.
