[lug] dhcpcd lease issue

[Chuck Wiechman]

I recently upgraded my laptop from redhat 7.1 to 7.3. After the upgrade,
the laptop is having issues keeping the same IP address. For some reason
it keeps requesting a new IP, and giving up its old one. I am pretty sure
there is nothing wrong with the dhcp server (redhat 7.2 it has been
running for months just fine), and it exhibits the same behavior at work 
with a debian dhcp server.

The only difference that I can see is that 7.3 uses dhcpcd instead of the 
pump client. I don't see any patches for dhcp on redhats page. Is this a 
know bug? Should I go back to pump?
