Because the link may not come up immediately. I've noticed that it can take a few seconds to detect a link on a wired interface and I suspect it can be longer on wireless. If you feel up to patching the code, you could try making the timeout in sbin/dhclient/dhclient.c configurable, rather than fixed at 10 seconds. I can't explain why it tries twice. -- Peter Jeremy
