Description:
Since version 3.1.x of dhcpcd, some users (including myself) have been experimenting problems requesting an IP address from their ISP servers. I noticed the only difference between the old version, and the new one, is that the new one does an ARP check, which brings trouble to some users, while the old one didn't do that check. Anyway, the ARP check can be disabled with the -A option. I would suggest changing the default /etc/conf.d/dhcpcd to this:

DHCPCD_ARGS="-A -t 30 -h $HOSTNAME"
