Problem with dhclient & wi0 on resume.

Unfortunately this system hasn't worked for me. As it is I have a script
which lives in rc.d which starts up dhclient with the appropriate
wireless options. Unfortunately after each suspend and resume this is
what I have to use. 

If anyone comes up with a solution to this it'd be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Mark
