I believe that Pump is only available on Red Hat. I use dhcpcd on SuSE, and the only problems I have ever had with it was with the scripts in earlier SuSE releases. /sbin/dhcpcd -k eth0 should cause dhcpclient to release. You could also take ifconfig down:/sbin/ifconfig down. In my case, on the laptop, everything gets released by the card manager when I pop out the card. I am currently using SuSE 6.4 with the 2.2.16 kernel. The SuSE scripts in 6.1 and 6.2 were buggy, but these were all fixed in 6.3. 6.4 has improved on the scripts. I can actually do this using YaST (which is SuSE's configuration utility). On 1 Mar 2001, at 12:19, Brian J.
