Dhclient fix for systems with media settings

Hi,
Then I shall provide what I possibly can.
When using dhclient to configure my wi-driven lucent card (latest
firmware), it will work for a while (varying number of minutes - up to
30 or so) and then stop working, while spitting out messages like:
wi0: bad alloc 55c != 2a2, cur 0 nxt 0
wi0: device timeout
wi0: bad alloc 573 != 2a2, cur 0 nxt 0
wi0: device timeout
and
wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc02/0
wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc03/0
Pulling the card and re-inserting it + restarting dhclient will give me
a network link again for another few minutes, then the same story
happens again.
I have never seen this problem when using a static IP - my uptime is
currently well over a week and I haven't had to reconfigure once.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
/Eirik
