Hi Dave. If you want to have a go at a "roll

Hi Nigel:
Thank you for the detailed conf file, I've saved it for future
reference if/when necessary. I did get the network up & running after
fixing /etc/network/interfaces to see eth0 at boot and running the pump
utility. Curiously, pump said it failed but brought up and connected the
interface anyway.
I've never used pump, but if you'd use dhcp (whose Debian package I
think conflicts with pump) you could instead manage the dhcp
configuration inside /etc/network/interfaces as well. Just replace
iface eth0 inet static
# ...
with
iface eth0 inet dhcp
# without addresses etc.!
To manually start a dhcp lookup, you can still use "sudo dhclient
eth0" similar to how pump is used AFAIK.
Ciao
