Just as a data point, this has bitten me in the past as well.  The
annoying thing is that you don't even have to be using the builtin
network adaptor; just so long as it's running dhclient, you're screwed
when you put the wireless card in.  You have to manually sort it all
out by running dhclient against both the old and the new interfaces...
