Hello, I've been testing DSL (1.5 and 2.0) and it's awesome. But I've found that pump does not play nice with my 3com 812 DSL router. dhclient works OK. Is there any possibility to replace pump with dhclient?

Pump is less than half the size of dhclient, so I doubt it will be replaced.

You might try making pump identify itself like Windows.

Code Sample
pump -win-client-ident -i eth0


That plays nicer wuith some routers than don't like the generic dhcp request, but doesn't work on others that do work with the normal request.

Play with the settings for pump, and see what happens.

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately "pump --win-client-id -i eth0" doesn't work either. I will test more options, and if I find something I'll post it here.
