Hi all,

Just to note. If you start your laptop without net connection
it will hang when dhclient gets started. To prevent/workaround
this, you'll have to add the option -nw.

Of course one could just skip the autodetection of the interface
and proceed anyway. But then the polling is not done and one has
still to restart dhclient manually.

I added this to the patchset I've made together with two different
minor fixes.

I beleave that this patch now really works good for all cases.
