Hmmm, you should be calling dhcp from the pcmcia scripts, my config
uses pump to bring up the pcmcia adapter and get the interface
information. (In fact the interface opens and then pump closes it
and then re-opens it - but that is a quirk of the token ring
driver - but hey can't complain as I wrote it :)

That's a shame, any chance you could make the changes required yourself
to bring the driver into the kernel ? I know Dave Hinds is very busy and
usually appreciates any help in this direction.
If you'd like some more help with this just let me know off-list
