Appears to look fine.
Not sure why you want to kill udhcpc, is it ever invoked?

It was just in a script I found on here so I copied it - I assumed it was "just in case", but you're right, it's probably redundant on my very basic system.

udhcpc is invoked on boot for a wired connection - I've seen this causes problems for wifi in some cases, so probably better to kill it just in case.

Shouldn't that be ruled out when using "nodhcp"?

Hi herrMnnn
Probably not the source of any problems, but I think netmask should be 255.255.255.0

Yes, you're right, thanks for picking that up for me.
