Okay, maybe PCLinuxOS doesn't use dhclient.  It might be using pump or
dhcpcd.  Sorry, I've never seen it.

No worries.  Don't change ANYTHING until you understand what you are doing.
As I understand it, you are basically trying to override the bogus
name-servers being handed out by your Actiontec modem.  Ideally, you should
just correct the modem (but that's quite off-topic for this list).
Meanwhile, we are trying to use the "supersede" feature of dhclient to
ignore the name-server IP addresses you are learning from the modem during
DHCP lease renewal.

Let's start by figuring out what dhcp client you are using.  Try this:
 ps aux | grep dhc

Do you get any hits on that?

Also, check for hints in /var like this:
 find /var/run -name "dhc*"

Do you get any hits on this?
