According to the documentation, dhclient calls dhclient-script for
every action.  It does not.  It appears that dhclient only calls
dhclient-script (now) to set the media.  At the very least, the
documentation is wrong.  But the functionality that was
dhclient-script was useful in many ways... not the least of which is
situations where adding a default route is not the right activity.

I have also noticed that dhclient (the new one) doesn't appear to
correctly notice atheros wireless state changes.  It doesn't appear to
try to reacquire ip addresses when you roam into a new open access
point network.

Dave.
