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