To make sure DHCP works, and that you have a client installed, run as root:
# pump -i eth0
or
# dhclient eth0
One should work, unless neither is installed.
Then, to make it permanent, edit as root /etc/pcmcia/network.opts and
change the "DHCP=n" option to "DHCP=y". Then next time you load the
card/reboot it will run dhcp after loading the modules.
