As I recall, the problem is that the Orinoco card is a pcmcia card and is started 
pretty late in the init process. You can try to start dhcpd later than pcmcia, 
possibly even waiting for the eth2 interface to show up in the system. I had a similar 
problem with a pcmcia only based LEAF box and solved it with a startup script which 
would check for the number of interfaces present.

I don't have neither pcmcia nor dhcp on my firewall anymore, the RCDLINKS approach 
looks sensible to me.
