I have the same problem and the suggested solution didn't work.

I created the network.opts but it is as if the network setup does not work
at all.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  The address is always
192.168.1.230.  However the working dhcp server serves up addresses in the
10.10.XXX.XXX ranges -- The mini2440 never updates addresses.

Whenever I attempt to configure the address manually, it always remains at
192.168.1.230  What gives?!

Thanks
Don

Also having the same issue.  I was going to attempt the suggested fix and
there is no "pcmcia" dir in the /etc

Is this a duct tape solution or is there an actual fix?

Erik
I created the dir and file and it is now on the network.

Kind of funky, but it worked.

I did have the same problem.

However, you do not have to use the Internet Icon because that let's you
add a connection.

There is one (orange, round) icon where you can set the network settings.
Be sure to set the IP address, default gateway and so on, close the on
screen keyboard because the save button is hidden under the keyboard.

I have a problem : playing with file manager i deleted 
ifconfig
