Sorry to be a pest, but I've now determined that /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf is being cleared every five minutes. There is nothing in my leases files, or in dhcp.conf, or in the message I get from dhclient that indicates that the wireless lease should last less than hours/days. This is beyond me, but it's making my computer unusable for anything that requires internet connections. Which is just about everything...
