Line 55 of /usr/bin/netcfg needs to specify the interface to be killed. Otherwise it assumes eth0, which may not be correct (wireless cards may be set to wlan0 or eth1).

A possible fix is:

# bring down dhcpcd if we're using it
[ "$IFOPTS" = "dhcp" -o "$IFOPTS" = "DHCP" ] && dhcpcd -k $INTERFACE
^^^^^^^^^^

Actually, the latest version no longer uses dhcpcd -k, it uses the old "kill $PID". But it look up the right pid by interface.
