I wanted to ask why grml uses pump and not DHCPCD (latest bleading edge version of course) In my experience when testing grml (compared to Gentoo) or Arch Linux (both of wich use DHCPCD) GRML connected with horribal slowness to my wireless network when broadcasting for an available IP-address.. It would sleep for 60 seconds took over 5 seconds before it connected. I compared this by running DHCPCD on Arch Linux, Gentoo, etc, that use the DHCPCD program. I found no comparason. DHCPCD whins over pump.
I've mentioned it several times, like just 10 days ago: http://www.mail-archive.com/grml@mur.at/msg02112.html
pump so far always won the race, but if I overlooked any possible improvement I'd highly welcome any hints and would re-evalute the situation these days. Which dhcp (client) binary exactly (if possible name Debian package and full binary path) are you talking about?
