Another "doh" moment ...

Well, it is a week since I had almost the exact same problem (thanks
guys for the advice ...) but still striving to get connected using the

First "doh" was not having downloaded the pcmcia-cs package. Having done
that, and fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version kernel_image
modules_image, I still could not get the network up. (No such file in
/var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid)
On booting, the high tone signal said my PCMCIA card had been accepted,
ifup revealed a problem with the socket: protocol not available. Looking
at /var/log/daemon.log confirmed the problem lay with dhclient.
Next "doh" moment ... pump -i eth0 ... and problems solved. I suppose I
could also have tried dhcpcd (apt-get install dhcpcd removes pump ...)
or manually configured with ifconfig ... for anyone else out there with
similar problems HTH
