You should have a package called dhcp-client. how well does your laptop work with dhcp ? i tried with multiple dell laptops (Xircom 10/100 pcmcia) and had major problems (with debian, slackware and mandrake) trying to get an ip on boot..seems we could get one after the machine was warmed up for 5-10 mins but it never could during boot(and yes dhcp was loaded after the pcmcia/ethernet stuff) assigning an ip manually at boot worked fine ..
