speaking of which, can someone explain how Debian decides which dhcp client to use to configure an interface, given that the interface is set up to use dhcp in /etc/network/interfaces? how does it decide to use the pump program to contact the dhcp server? and if i have the pump program and the dhcpcd program installed, how does it arbitrate between them? the networking script in /etc/init.d appears to call ifup -a, but ifup is a binary, not a script.
