The /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup  script has a bug in it

117: if [ -n "$DHCP" ];then
118:     echo -n "Determining IP information for $DEVICE via dhcpcd..."
119:    if /sbin/dhcpcd -i $DEVICE -h $HOSTNAME ; then
120:        echo " done."                                                           

line #s are correct as of initscripts-4.72-10mdk
Line 119 should be changed to remove the -i switch as instead
of specifying the interface it specifies something called a
vendorClassID. This change works fine and is required by all
DHCP (cable modem) connections I have tested.
