Red Hat started including pump with RHL 6.0. They still include dhcpcd (the
DHCP client daemon) package, but their scripts are now written for pump.

pump seems like a neat idea, but it isn't quite ready for prime time yet.
Why Red Hat decided to switch to it at this point, I don't know. There is a
new version of pump available (0.7.6) which does seem to fix several fatal
problems in the version distributed with RHL 6.1. You can get it from:
ftp://people.redhat.com/ewt/pump-0.7.6/
