Additional - we will have to remove calling dhclient for each card we use.
The proper way is to use omsshell(8) and let dhclient (which gets started
up a boot time as daemon) reconfigure it's interfaces.

I'm now working on implementing a unix socket interface for omsshell,
so the user root can do anything without any encrypted keys.

The next version of isdhcp will contain all these fixes. And I hope we
can import it before 5.1
