With the unstable version of pcmcia packages, you should set DHCP to "y" in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts. You may need to set DHCP_HOSTNAME as well. DHCPCLIENT and PUMP are no longer used. The current /etc/pcmcia/network unfortunately uses only the first one of dhcpcd, dhclient, or pump which exists on the system. If one of them fails, the others are not tried.
I tried using DHCP at a wireless cafe. I had dhcpd and pump installed. dhcpd failed and pump wasn't tried. Once I removed dhcpd, pump connected easily.
