IIRC, the version of pump shipping with RH 6.2 allows for scripts to be run
on IP change also. So, there is no significant difference between RedHat's
pump and the dhcp client.

The only advantage to DHCPCD that I know of is it allows you to run scripts
after it receives a new IP (i.e. firewall scripts). The 10.x.x.x is by
definition a private IP and shouldn't be for the cable modem. It sounds like
pump/dhcpcd is not running when you restart the network and the NIC is
assigned a default IP (10.x.x.x).
My experience with cable modems and DSL is that the IP you receive should
stay the same unless you shutdown for long periods of time. I always ran
pump without any problems.
No clue on the different IPs for the different DHCP clients, though.
Good Luck!
Kevin
