First, be sure that you have dhcpcd installed (rpm -qa | grep dhcpcd),
then edit /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup, and substitute pump for
dhcpcd, as this:

if [ -n "$PUMP" ]; then
    echo -n "Determining IP information for $DEVICE..."
    if /sbin/dhcpcd  $DEVICE ; then
        echo " done."
    else

Then, modify /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifdown as this:


if [ "$BOOTPROTO" = bootp -o "$BOOTPROTO" = dhcp ]; then
        dhcpcd -k  ${DEVICE}
fi

Then:

# cd /etc/rc.d/init
# ./network stop
# ./network start

It should work (it worked really well for me ...)
