[lug] AT&T CABLE MODEM

[Ferdinand Schmid]

They use dhclient, which comes as part of bindutil.  I don't know what all
that invokes.  To be fair I have to say that I didn't have trouble with
RedHat's dhcp client either and pump always worked just fine.  If you
however use linuxconf to configure your networking then you may be in for
trouble - at least on older RedHat systems.  I found that to be buggy.
