Running /etc/rc.d/dhclient restart doesn't seem to work for me at all. 
That may be because I manually started dhclient. Running 
/etc/rc.d/dhclient stop doesn't even work. The two commands you have 
above should work fine. Create a little script.

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/pkill dhclient
/sbin/ifconfig wi0 down
/sbin/dhclient wi0

This script works fine for me. It doesn't run under sudo for some 
reason but runs fine as root.
