I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you have a cable modem do
not use pump. Use dhcpcd. If you are using pump and there is no problem,
it is because you have an extraordinarily long lease time (maybe -1).

I'm on RCN and pump is a disaster. It is not capable of starting a new
lease in the event of the old lease failing to renew. It will abort.

The change to be made to convert over to dhcpcd is in /sbin/ifup.

I am not aware of anything to indicate that this so-called non-busted pump
is capable of starting a new lease if the old one fails to renew.
