Thanks Sean for the shell script, that should work fine.

I need new leases for a couple reason. When I move the laptop around I
frequently change between wired and wireless adapter. Also sometimes I
need to change wifi networks, which requires a new IP.

Mostly I need new ips for testing my home wireless base station, which
I made out of a space PCI->PCMCIA card and the hostap linux driver.
