Let's check that possibility first before assuming a driver bug. Install dhcpcd, chmod a-x /sbin/pump, and see if it works better (if pump is not there or not executable, the scripts fall back to dhcpcd). If so, please file a bug report against pump in buzilla http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/ michaelkjohnson "He that composes himself is wiser than he that composes a book."
