Don't listen to anyone who advocates the use of pump. pump sucks because 
it renews leses as long as it can. Then if the lease fails to renew, pump 
aborts. i.e., it will not ask for a new lease.

The best thing to do is to 

rpm -e pump

Then make the following mods:

Modify ifdown so that it does a kill -15 on the pid of the running dhcpcd 
instead of the dhcpcd -k. This will terminate dhcpcd without releasing the 
lease. Then when you come back up, the odds will be high that you will get 
the same lease. You might also want to modify ifup to add additional 
options (like -R -d) to the dhcpcd commandline.
