And just like with the original reporter, things work again. I rebooted the laptop and the router serveral times, and now DHCP works again, without changing any seetings are installing any updates.
This is especially strange as I could connect via DHCP with an old Laptop running Intrepid the whole time. The output from running dhclient looks as follows, the strange wmaster0 message remains: sudo dhclient [sudo] password for aguafuertes: Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.1.1 Copyright 2004-2008 Internet Systems Consortium.
