Mine don't do that. One thing I know is that the dhcp client only does what it
is told. IOW, it should be respecting the lease time that the dhcp server gave it.

Why not just edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and set the lease time to something
hardcoded that suits your admins?

Also, I need to know which kernel you are using. If you are using dapper, might
I suggest unloading orinoco_pci, and loading hostap_pci.
