+ PERSISTANT_DHCLIENT=yes|no|1|0
+ Without this option, or if it is 'no'/'0', and BOOTPROTO=dhcp,
+ dhclient is run for the interface in "one-shot" mode; if the
+ dhcp server does not respond for a configurable timeout, then
+ dhclient exits and the interface is not brought up -
+ the '-1' option is given to dhclient.
+ If PERSISTANT_DHCLIENT=yes, then dhclient will keep on trying
+ to contact the dhcp server when it does not respond - no '-1'
+ option is given to dhclient.

must be set is the DEVICE item; all the rest will be determined
