You were absolutely right, thanks!  Nothing wrong with my config or
driver.  I simply installed the package dhcp-client over my existing
configuration, and it worked immediately with no additional change.

I didn't even need to uninstall pump.  [That is no bug in the package
dependencies; after uninstalling pump it is still working. ;-)]

Maybe you will find the time now, it took me less than a minute to
fix it, including downloading dhcp-client.

Only in order to use my local nameserver I needed a /etc/dhclient.conf
with a line "domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;", as the /etc/pump.conf is
ignored of course.

Pump should really not be the default (at least not this version).
dhclient works much better and has more configuration options.  And as
you said, dhcpcd is better too.
