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. -Gary Simmons
