I have a cable modem over here and also use DHCPCD to get my IP
address, etc from the provider. The old dhcpcd was doing Bad
Things (TM) in regards to the new kernel networking code (i.e.
setting the IP address to 0.0.0.0 IIRC). A newer dhcpcd-sv
package is part of potato and it has worked fine for me. If
you don't run potato, you can fairly easily grab the source
and recompile it against glibc 2.0.
