running. If it isn't glaringly obvious let me know and I can experiment
and try to determine what exactly I was missing from the file.<br>

</div>I wrote the guide, and I put the killall command there because<br>
dhclient sometimes failed when I restarted the network service.<br>
I double-checked everything, and the wiki page shows exactly how<br>
I have it configured on my laptop. Could you post the contents<br>
of your ifcfg file for this interface? In my example below the<br>
bootproto is set to dhcp, which starts the dhclient program when<br>
the interface is brought up.<br>
