Thanks in advance for any help I get.

I have a Dell Latitude D600 with a Dell wireless card that I'm trying to get automatically enabled at boot. This is the error I currently get at boot, and when I run /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start :
Code:

 * Running preup function
 *   Configuring wireless network for eth0
 *   Scanning for access points
 *     Found "banana" at 00:06:25:F1:C2:4C (WEP required)
 *     Found "daisy" at 00:06:25:D9:DA:22 (WEP required)
 *   Connecting to "banana" (WEP enabled)...
[ ok ]
 *     eth0 connected to "banana" in managed mode
 *     on channel  (WEP enabled)
 * Bringing eth0 up via DHCP...
[ !! ]
**** /sbin/dhcpcd: already running
**** /sbin/dhcpcd: if not then delete /var/run/dhcpcd-eth0.pid


i can start dhcpcd manually after this, by typing as root:
Code:
dhcpcd -k
dhcpcd

and then all is as it should be.

any thoughts??
