I have never found a solution for that, so I tried for testing, to use dhcpcd instead, and it seems to work, I don't have disconnects anymore. What could the problem be with dhclient? I don't know very well what these processes are doing. Does the process check for lease by a specific interval? I don't care about using dhcpcd instead of dhclient, but I would like to make it working instead of dhclient but dhclient_program="/usr/local/sbin/dhcpcd" in the rc.conf does not start dhcpcd at boot.
