Re: refresh IP from dhcp isp

[Lai Zit Seng <lzs@xxxxxxxxx>]

In that case, there's a -r option to dhclient which according to the 
manpages is supposed to do a DHCP release.

I'm not sure what's wrong, but this doesn't actually do anything on my FC3 
box. Tcpdump shows no DHCP_RELEASE packet is ever sent, and the original 
client doesn't exit either. But perhaps you might have better luck with it 
:)
