On my wired machine that works out of the box I have:

[wired-default]
afterscript = None
use_static_dns = False
dhcphostname = lpt1
dns3 = None
postdisconnectscript = None
dns1 = None
search_domain = None
dns_domain = None
lastused = True
broadcast = None
default = 1
netmask = None
dns2 = None
beforescript = None
profilename = wired-default
predisconnectscript = None
ip = None
gateway = None
use_global_dns = False

On the machine I have to issue a manual dhcpcd eth0 I have:

[wired-default]
ip
broadcast
netmask
gateway
search_domain
dns_domain
dns1
dns2
dns3
beforescript
afterscript
predisconnectscript
postdisconnectscript
default = True
dhcphostname = mac1

Don't know whether the missing values make a difference. As far as
eth0,  at the moment after dhcpcd eth0 is issued,  it is:

mac1 wicd # ifconfig -a
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
          inet addr:192.168.10.7  Bcast:192.168.10.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:4565 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:3102 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:5285197 (5.0 MiB)  TX bytes:420643 (410.7 KiB)
          Interrupt:16

Before dhcpcd eth0 is issued eth0 is there, I think, but it does not
have an inet addr: assigned to it. I will need to reboot to confirm
it.

Thanks,
