Sounds nice to me, but then I'd also like to see an equivalent
ifdeconfig.wi0 etc to kill that dhclient that gets started by
ifconfig.wi0. Hmmm, or maybe better let dhclient survive interface
removal (or does it already do that?) and a new dhclient call merely
send a -HUP signal to the one already running on interface addition to
indicate such an event.

Feico.
