What I do is put my ethernet card module name in /etc/modules and then added the parameters in the usual debian way in the directory /etc/modutils. This way the module is always available, and that is really what I want for my computer. All that said, good luck-- but if it still doesn't work, try a different dhcp client (dhcp-client, dhcpcd). I had problems with pump personally.
