Yeah... Pump seems to be totally fubared on 7.0 big time.
It can't even renew a static lease without dropping the ball and
leaving the interface dead, much less negotiating a new lease.
It's pretty much completely useless no matter what your environment.
At this point, we've pretty much confirmed that if you are running
pump, the interface is going to die after some period of time which
seems pretty close to the lease renewal time. Since switching that 7.0
system over to dhcpcd (by removing pump) the interface has not gone down
once. I'm convinced...
Chalk that one up as another 7.0 bug I guess.
6.2 certainly didn't have that problem and my laptop, running
6.2 and pump, didn't have renegotiation problems. At this point, though,
I'm about through with screwing with it. It's getting too hard to keep
track of which versions are busted and in what ways and what features
are missing.
Did you notice in the 7.0 scripts that it seems like they tried
to add a little autoswitching for pump and dhcpcd? It looks like they
meant to run pump if it was available or dhcpcd if pump was not. Of
course, they fu'ed that up to and rather than check to see if pump
existed as an executable program they just ran it and if that attempt
failed they fell back to dhcpcd. If you just remove pump, it will run
dhcpcd instead, but it farts out bogus errors about "pump: command not
found". Nice try... Oh well...
