    This change converts the "I already have an address" check to be a
    "I'm up" which are two different things. dhclient leaves the
    interface up when it exits, even if it can't get an address. I think
    that might cause a lot of problems for people. I originally had this
    test in pccard_ether, but changed it to checking for netmask because
    roving from network to network didn't work without it on my laptop
    with multiple network interfaces.

    I think it will have issues on more than just these naughty drivers.
