I'm sorry not getting back to you earlier. It really seems to be
a networking issue, because it doesn't happen on the copper (em)
interface. But I'm wondering why dhclient stops, because I don't
have any link up or down messages and I'm not that far away from
the access point, so the signal quality is good.

I start the dhclient with a small script, which is executed
through sudo (nothing special). I noticed, that there is only one
dhclient process, if it's started through this script. If I start
dhclient from the shell (directly with sudo), there are two
dhclient processes.
