Description:
netcfg starts dhclient, but doesn't kill it, if DHCLIENT isn't set.


Additional info:
Version: 2.1.0-1

Steps to reproduce:
Create a profile, don't set DHCLIENT, and set IP=dhcp. Furthermore, install dhclient.
Then, when the interface is brought up, dhclient is started.
When it is brought down, dhclient isn't killed.

Simple fix:
Make the code in wireless_up and wireless_down work in the same way, i.e. insert
[[ ! "$DHCLIENT" && -e /sbin/dhclient ]] && DHCLIENT="yes"
after line 94 in /usr/lib/network/ethernet.subr
This task depends upon
