Pump on FC2T1?

[Edwards, Scott (MED, Kelly IT Resouces)]

I tried dhclient first and couldn't get it to behave itself correctly.
This system absolutely cannot hang during booting if the cable is
disconnected.  Even if the cable is connected we don't have time to wait
while it does it's thing.  And then if three hours later somebody plugs
in the network cable it needs to do it's thing correctly.  I have not
been able to get dhclient to work under these circumstances, whereas if
I start pump in the background at bootup it seems to behave itself.  If
there is some other way to force dhclient to meet the requirements then
I would be more than happy to use it.

Thanks
  -Scott

I thought pump hasn't been included for quite a while; use dhclient as a
replacement. Or something like "ifup eth0" (where eth0 is your ethernet
card)
