I've had similar problems using dhcpcd. My solution has been to use pump
instead. My only problem there has been it's logging is incredibly verbose
and I haven't found where to quiet it.

Subject: DHCPCD hangs on laptop bootup
Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2000 10:34:59 -0800
I've been having some problems getting dhcpcd to reliably install a daemon
on booup. My latest problem is that if I have the pc-card in (my network
is
through the PCMCIA card) but the dongle is not attached, that dhcpcd just
waits until I plug in the dongle (or perhaps for a really long time, I
don't
know). Since I have two dongles, I almost never remove the card when
transporting my laptop. Is there a way to get around this. I am kind of
stuck in the middle, since it seems to take a little while to start the
pcmcia services (thus I need to delay or repeat running dhcpcd in the boot
sequence, and if the laptop isn't on the network, then it doesn't like to
have dhcpcd installed at all (or I need to pull the pc-card, which I don't
want to do)
Any ideas?
.Geoff
