Well, at this moment I can only say that 'dhcp-2.0' from rawhwide is
plainly broken (easy to fix) and 'dhcpcd-1.3.17pl5' suffers from
"unaligned access" everywhere and possibly has some other bugs as well  
(not that easy to catch - probably the best idea is to rewrite it all).
So far I did not have any luck with 'pump' as a replacement.
I know that as at this moment I needed that stuff for my own use. :-)

Not that a "non-rawhide" distros are much better in that department. :-)

More precise bug reports to bugzilla to follow soon.
