The information is available through gnome-netinfo.  But and integration
with applets is needed.  AFAIR, network applets exists and 
Mark McLoughlin was working in something like that.

gnome-netinfo show more information, usefuless if we think
only in the network state.

However, Release/Negotiate a new address by DHCP looks like a
gnome system tool task.  This is not a task for a common user (whitout
priviledges).
