Right -- re-connecting (e.g., via "service netif restart wlan0") should
be starting "dhclient wlan0".

Because I (also) needed to re-populate my ipfw rules when I get a new
DHCP lease, I cobbled up a /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks script; while I was
there anyway, I put in some code at that point to make /etc/resolv.conf
"sane" (by whatever passes for my standards).

Peace,
