First, the presumption is that this is not a PCMCIA interface.

Second, it might help to see /etc/network/interfaces

Third, I assume dhcp-client is installed

TO help debug, as root manually issue the command
dhclient

Then post the output of /sbin/ifconfig

and go to /var/log and grep for dhclient (to find errors posted to log 
files), that is

grep dhclient /var/log/*

should do.
