It seems that the DHCP server does not reply to DHCPRELEASE so dhclient waits until timeout.
My DSL modem does the same.
My workaround is to remove /etc/rc0.d/S35networking and /etc/rc6.d/S35networking, but I would like to know if there is a way to configure dhclient to ignore release requests, without messing with init scripts.

Also on reboots the client should NOT release the address according to the protocol, so maybe this is ALSO a bug in the init scripts.
