I am sure you did this, but be sure you set the OUTPUT chain to accept
when doing this test too.

Not sure-- but it is worth a shot-- no all cards can handle it. What I
do is put my ethernet card module name in /etc/modules and then added the
parameters in the usual debian way in the directory /etc/modutils. This
way the module is always available, and that is really what I want for my
computer.
All that said, good luck-- but if it still doesn't work, try a different
dhcp client (dhcp-client, dhcpcd). I had problems with pump personally.
