Extra info

Since this program is a servive (that's why it has an @ in the name), you can make it run when kolibrios boots so it will automattically setup your network connection on boot. To do so, do the following in kolibrios:

open AUTORUN.DAT with tinypad and add this line: /sys/@AUTODHCP <NO> 30 # Automated DHCP client by hidnplayr now, increment the number at the beginning of the file and save it.
