A good tool to use to set this up is netconf. Make sure your interface is 
set to use dhcp for boot configuration. You can also do this by setting the 
BOOTPROTO variable to "dhcp" in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth?. 
In the same file, you will also neet to set DHCP_HOSTNAME="cr######-a" 
(your Rogers assigned host name).

Make sure you have the dhcpcd package installed because for some reason, 
pump doesn't want to work with Rogers. It took me many hours and many 
colourful words to determine this.

Good luck.
