>From #ubuntu-devel:

<StevenK> I know what is going on.
[06:16] <StevenK> wlassistant fires off dhclient, which complains about a zero 
length PID file on stderr. wlassistant takes any output on stderr as being a 
problem, and so kills dhclient.
[06:17] <StevenK> The bug can be worked around in wlassistant, however.
[06:17] <StevenK> Which requires learning QT file handling functions.
[06:18] <StevenK> And coding C++.
[06:18] <StevenK> Neither really appeals.
[06:18] <Hobbsee> StevenK: or fix dhclient?  nah...
[06:19] <StevenK> Maybe.
[06:19] <StevenK> dhclient sucks a lot, though.
[06:19] <Hobbsee> am i being slow tonight, or do you just have to check if the 
output on the stderr is about the zero length PID, or nothing else fail?
[06:20] <StevenK> Hobbsee: The point is dhclient should remove it's PID file on 
exit.
* StevenK will look at a fix in about 5
