dhcpcd shoots up systems usage

Hi ,
I am running Slackware 9.0 and have an Adaptec (AWN 8010)
PCI card.The following is how I setup my wireless net connection.
/sbin/modprobe orinoco
ifconfig eth1 up
iwconfig eth1 essid lanid
iwconfig eth1 enc 000..000
dhcpcd eth1
The problem is dhcpcd shoots up the system usage to 99% in a minute
after connecting to internet and my machine gets very slow untill I
kill dhcpcd.
Is there anyway to debug this!!
Thanks to any suggestions/advice.

Hi,
It looks like I dont have "-f" option in my dhcpcd.
anyways dhcpcd -d eth1 returns the MAC address and IP address after it
connects to the wireless lan but still I am unable to figure out
anything from it.
My wireless lan is setup such that I have to sign in to start using
the web.
I wonder is the problem might be!!! :(
Thanks,
