[TriLUG] WIFI misbehavior

I've got a WRT54GL running Tomato and a Fedora 16 box connected to it.
 In my /var/log/messages, I'm getting this way too frequently:

May 30 14:55:55 laputa dhclient[25354]: DHCPREQUEST on wlan0 to 10.2.2.1 port 67
May 30 14:56:12 laputa dhclient[25354]: DHCPREQUEST on wlan0 to 10.2.2.1 port 67
May 30 14:56:28 laputa dhclient[25354]: DHCPREQUEST on wlan0 to 10.2.2.1 port 67
May 30 14:56:39 laputa dhclient[25354]: DHCPREQUEST on wlan0 to 10.2.2.1 port 67
May 30 14:57:00 laputa dhclient[25354]: DHCPREQUEST on wlan0 to 10.2.2.1 port 67

I checked /var/lib/dhclient, and I had 4 leases files (with multiple
sections in them) for my wireless network.  I've deleted them all and
the DHCPREQUESTing seems to have stopped.

It looks like each time I suspend/resume I get a new lease section.
Anyone else see this?  Know how to fix it?

Joseph
