Additional - we will have to remove calling dhclient for each card we use. The proper way is to use omsshell(8) and let dhclient (which gets started up a boot time as daemon) reconfigure it's interfaces. I'm now working on implementing a unix socket interface for omsshell, so the user root can do anything without any encrypted keys. The next version of isdhcp will contain all these fixes. And I hope we can import it before 5.1 Martin
