To Change to old DHCP client.

Download dhcpcd.bz2 to the packages directory.

Change in network.ini to old dhcp settings:
Orginal:
then
    echo "Booting udhcpc"
    echo "OUTSIDE_DEVICE=${OUTSIDE_DEV}"   > /etc/outside.info

    if /bin/udhcpc -n -s /etc/udhcpcrenew.sh -H ${HOSTNAME} -i
${OUTSIDE_DEV}; then
        . /etc/outside.info
    else
        echo "duh!"     # Or some more useful error handling
    fi
else

Replace with Old dhcp settings:
then
    echo "Booting dhcpcd"
    mv /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-ethX.exe /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-${OUTSIDE_DEV}.exe 2> /dev/null
    echo "OUTSIDE_DEVICE=${OUTSIDE_DEV}"   > /etc/outside.info
    if /bin/dhcpcd -d -h ${HOSTNAME} ${OUTSIDE_DEV}; then
        tmphostname=${HOSTNAME}
        tmpdomain=${DOMAIN}
        . /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-${OUTSIDE_DEV}.info
        if [ ! ${tmphostname} = "" ]; then
                HOSTNAME=${tmphostname}
                DOMAIN=${tmpdomain}
        fi
        OUTSIDE_IP=${IPADDR}

    else
        echo "duh!"     # Or some more useful error handling
    fi
else

Add in firewall.ini to grab IP address because outside.ini is almost empty:
....snip

# Firewall setup.
#
# This is a conversion of the ipchains/ipmasqadm based firewall.ini 
# Setting up iptables
#

 /etc/config

# Getting info from dhcpcd to outside.info
 /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-${OUTSIDE_DEV}.info

        echo "OUTSIDE_IP=${IPADDR}"               >> /etc/outside.info
        echo "OUTSIDE_GATEWAY=${GATEWAY}"         >> /etc/outside.info
        echo "OUTSIDE_NETMASK=${NETMASK}"         >> /etc/outside.info
        echo "OUTSIDE_NETWORK=${NETWORK}"         >> /etc/outside.info
        echo "OUTSIDE_BROADCAST=${BROADCAST}"     >> /etc/outside.info

... snap
After this changes it works for me with swedish Comhem ISP.

I don't know if renewal works because I get same IP every time.
