There is a lot of misinformation floating around here. I just want to try
and clear it up.
pump should not be used for a cablemodem or a DSL connection. The reason
is that pump will exit when the lease expires because pump does not know
how to negotiate for a new lease. i.e., pump only knows how to renew an
existing lease.
The reason you get consistent ip addresses based on the two different
clients is because they are saving their old addresses and trying to
request the same address at startup.
One final comment: I have heard that dhcp-client is even better than
dhcpcd because it is much more configurabler :-) Can someone tell me if
that is true?
