Last night/this morning, my cable provider (Rogers for those Canucks out there running it too) seems to have changed things somewhat. Instead of needing to provide a '-h hostname' option or '-H -D', it would appear now that the only dhcpcd incantation that works is an "argument free" /sbin/dhcpcd. Anything else results in the eth0 IP remaining blank.
