dhclient-script impotence.

According to the documentation, dhclient calls dhclient-script for
every action. It does not. It appears that dhclient only calls
dhclient-script (now) to set the media. At the very least, the
documentation is wrong. But the functionality that was
dhclient-script was useful in many ways... not the least of which is
situations where adding a default route is not the right activity.
I have also noticed that dhclient (the new one) doesn't appear to
correctly notice atheros wireless state changes. It doesn't appear to
try to reacquire ip addresses when you roam into a new open access
point network.
