What do you mean with 'changed my dhcp client from pump do dhclient'? How did you change it?
I'm running grml 0.7 on hd install, so I removed the pump package and installed the dhclient, ie, the dhcpcd package, by
apt-get install pump- dhcpcd
To me, pump is more RedHat's choice, and dhclient has always been Debian's. Hope we have dhclient as the dhcp client for grml in the future. But that's only my personal flavor though.
You can invoke manually whatever you like (dhclient is available by default on grml as well). But pump is used inside grml-autoconfig because it's faster than dhclient.
The Debian way of life is to configure /etc/network/interfaces like:
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
if you want to use DHCP for eth0. You don't have to care what's running in the background. It just works.
