Very Computer

I try to configure a internet connection on my laptop dell insperion
7000 with 3c589E pcmcia network card. The network server assigns IP
addresses dynamically. To get this address it is supposed to use DHCP.
My problem is that I don't get the IP address. It seems that the system
detect the NIC, but the IP address remains unset.

After ifconfig I get the following output:

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:3924  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:10:5A:D2:F2:59
          unspec addr:[NONE SET]  Bcast:[NONE SET]  Mask:[NONE SET]
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:14067 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0
          Interrupt:9 Base address:0x300

and dhcpcd -d which runs dhcpcd in the foreground gives

ioctl SIOCSIIFBRDADDR (ifConfig): Cannot assign requested address

Thanks for any help.
