Bruce,

I'm stretched here, because I don't actually do this myself. However,
if you are using pump for dhcp you should be aware of bug
#121126 

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=no&bug=121126

If you do get this solved, please post your findings. I'd be
interested. A few years ago a friend got me to switch to pump from
good ol' dhpcd (or is it dhpcpd) and I remember being a little bummed
when I saw this bug somewhere.....

Cheers!
