Just as a data point, this has bitten me in the past as well. The annoying thing is that you don't even have to be using the builtin network adaptor; just so long as it's running dhclient, you're screwed when you put the wireless card in. You have to manually sort it all out by running dhclient against both the old and the new interfaces... -Dom
