DHCP requests without link

[jackburton]

There are some cases where the DHCP client makes the dhcp requests without a physical connection. This laptop has a wireless interface (which is active and connected to a network) and an ethernet interface (uses the rtl81xx driver). If I set the ethernet interface down and up, the DHCP client starts sending requests, even if the cable is not connected.
