Description:
when using dhclient is called from netcfg, it runs on all interfaces, not just the one specified in the profile.

Additional info:

* dhclient 3.0.6-2


Steps to reproduce:
1. tail -f /var/log/everything.log
2. start an profile with DHCLIENT="yes" and IP="dhcp"
3. watch dhclient attempt to get an address for every interface.

oh! that explains a big issue I'd noticed.

I'll push out a 2.1.1 with this merged.
