pump doesn't get ip

[Esko Lehtonen <esko.lehtonen@pp.htv.fi>]

Hi List!

I have a problem configuring my debian potato to use dhcp. I'm
connected to the Internet via cable modem. The network card is
configured to irq=10 and io=0x300. The module is smc-ultra. The card
should be ok.

When I start 'pump', it tries to get dynamic ip from server using
dhcp, but fails everytime. When 'pump' is trying to get the ip,
'ifconfig' shows this:


eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:C0:57:6D:DE  
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:2 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 
          Interrupt:10 Base address:0x310 Memory:cc000-d0000 

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:3924  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 

In the output ip address is not defined and the Base address is 0x310,
though
the card is using base address 0x300.

/var/log/syslog shows following messages:

Does anyone have any ideas what's wrong. I used 'dhcpcd' in my former
debian, and I have tried it in this new installation but without
success.

Thanks!
