I just installed RedHat 6, and like it a lot.  One of the reasons I
installed it was because it has good DHCP support built-in, which I need
for my new ADSL service.

I'd like to rebuild the kernel they ship -- mainly because it includes a
lot of stuff I don't need.  I've been rebuilding kernels for years (with
modules) under Slackware and never had any problems.

My new kernels work fine.  Except that DHCP won't work.  When booting
under the new kernel, the interface doesn't get any IP address assigned.

I did a bit of looking, and the "pump" program, which RedHat uses to bring
up the interface, doesn't seem to be working on my new kernel.
Unfortunately, it doesn't provide any information why.

Does anyone know what module or support I need in my kernel for the 'pump'
program to work?  I can provide the list of modules I'm using, and the
list of modules from RedHat 6 base if that helps.  

On a related note -- is there anyway to look at a particular binary (like
'pump') and see what kernel modules/system calls it needs? 

Thanks tons for any help.

Rob
