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
