Problem with setting up dhcp and wireless networking?

[Robert Kennedy]

I finally got dhclient v3.0.3 to work -- Sort of...

dhclient now obtains an IP address from my router and assigns the IP address 
to my computer.  But the nameservers in my /etc/resolv.conf file is NOT 
updated.

Here is my dhclient.conf file:

request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
	domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name,
	netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope;
timeout 20;
---------------

Does anyone know why my /etc/resolv.conf file is NOT being updated?  What is 
the fix?

Rob
