Egor: Thanks for the additional information.

The culprit is /etc/madwimax/event.sh which doesn't stop dhclient gracefully. Here's a snippet showing the handling of dhclient3 and dhclient (version 4).

        if [ -x /sbin/dhclient3 ]; then
                /sbin/dhclient3 -r -pf /var/run/dhclient."$2".pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient."$2".leases "$2" >/dev/null 2>&1
        elif [ -x /sbin/dhclient ]; then
                kill -TERM $(cat /var/run/dhclient."$2".pid)

On the last line, not "kill", but "dhclient -r" should be used, as in the /sbin/dhclient3 case.
