    I have reconfigured the interface to use DHCP. Now I want to configure the
    DHCP client not to bring the interface up and down.

    How do I do this?

    I have added DHCLIENT_ADDITIONAL_OPTIONS="-o" to the wireless interface
    ifcfg but with this entry I do not get any IP address.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.
