How do you bring up your network? :) Seems like you are using a DHCP based setup.
Currently I manually start it up with:
dhclient
Ok, as written in my other mail configure /etc/network/interfaces.
If you want to do it automatically start grml-network and configure it according to your needs. Or manually configure /etc/network/interfaces, take a look at /etc/network/interfaces.examples for some configuration examples.
I took a look at how my Debian Sarge does. Would the following 2 lines good enough for eth0, without relying on pump?
# The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
Yes.
PS. How does my Debian Sarge know which DHCP client that I uses, ie, which one to use to talk to DHCP server?
Take a look at the source of ifupdown for details.
