probably, on my box it run as:
/sbin/pump --hostname=fantasia --win-client-ident --interface eth0
no command line changes to config file and man page show that it read 
/etc/pump.conf by default

To switch from dhcpcd to pump i did:
#emerge pump;
#rc-update del net.eth0 default;
#echo "pump" >> /etc/conf.d/local.start

man dhcpcd
cat /etc/conf.d/net

you will find out how to change the timeout if you read those two pieces
of documentation :)

Well, i looked at the man page and found that the timeout can specified
by dhcpcd -t   . After some further explorations throgh the
manpage and the net.eth0 script, my attention focused on the file
/etc/conf.d/net, where i found the comment '# For passing options to
dhcpcd use dhcpcd_eth?'. Thus, is it correct to add 'dhcpcd_eth0="-t
120" to this file ?

thanks,
antonio

Looks to me like eth0 is coming up fine, from the perspective that it is
active.  But since the dhcp is failing, you aren't getting a valid ip
address and that gives the appearance that the network is not up.

Yep.  Check the man pages and it should tell you what options to put in your
config file.

Well, dmesg looked fine, but I maybe found something in
/var/log/everything/current:

Is it possible to tell dhcpd to wait longer for a response, or eaven
