router And linux

[Michael Havens]

IO've been investigating how to make this always reset correctly (was thinking 
of putting a line in a startup script) when I happened upon dhclient. This is 
installed in my system, Can I use it? I was thinking thaat perhaps it is 
already in use because of howq when I initially installed the router it 
worked. What are your thoughts?
