Public bug reported:
>From time to time I'm using a Bluetooth network device (my cellphone).
In Linux it shows as bnep0. However when disconnected, this device
disappears from ifconfig -a output. Still dclient floods syslog with
the following:
Jul 2 22:09:59 void dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on bnep0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
interval 8 (xid=0x2c92a43c)
Jul 2 22:09:59 void dhclient: send_packet: No such device or address
Jul 2 22:09:59 void dhclient: dhclient.c:2094: Failed to send 300 byte long
packet over bnep0 interface.
That continues even after networking is disabled altogether.
Also, every 15 seconds the following is logged:
Jul 2 22:29:03 void dhclient: PRC: Renewing lease on wlan0.
Jul 2 22:29:03 void dhclient: XMT: Renew on wlan0, interval 10180ms.

Given that bnep0 interface does not exist, the problem most likely is
not in the dhclient itself, but something else that configures it to use
non-existent interface.
