I think I'll leave mine as is until I or someone
(hint, hint) comes up with the real fix. I don't

#! /bin/sh
killall -9 dhclient
sh /etc/netstart
ifconfig -a

line from my /etc/rc.conf and had my
inconfig_sk0="DHCP"
though this does seem somewhat problematic...every now
and then I will boot up and it won't work...then I
just reboot and all of a sudden it works *shrug*
I fogured out what was wrong with
