Ok, there is no configuration for your device. :)

Sure. The loopback interface is initiated "manually" and all network
devices are started via "ifconfig $DEVICE up ; pump -i $DEVICE".

Ok.

How do you bring up your network? :) Seems like you are using a DHCP
based setup.

If you want to do it automatically start grml-network and configure
it according to your needs. Or manually configure
/etc/network/interfaces, take a look at
/etc/network/interfaces.examples for some configuration examples.

If you want to use dhcp with the same setup as from live-cd mode
make sure that CONFIG_DHCP='yes' is set in /etc/grml/autoconfig and
the binary "pump" is available.
