   How does one do a fresh install of Debian 2.1 in this case?  Thanks
   
I recently adopted the dhcpcd package and have verified this bug.  I
have uploaded dhcpcd_1.3.17pl2-4 which should fix this as well as
other issues relating to pcmcia support.

Please let me know if you would like a temporary download location for
this package.
