I may need to do some stuff to handle the -1 Address Time (which means 
infinite).  Right now effectively 4294967295s is pretty much infinte (136 years) 
I guess, but I should check the arithmetic and maek sure there aren't any 
signed/unsigned integer issues here.  Jeremy had a problem at FUDCon where NM 
would re-get the lease every 5 minutes, and the rebind/renewal times were 0 
there as well.  Anyway, that's not related to your problem here.

Can you do give the output of a few things here?

1) route -n
2) ifconfig ath0
3) ps aux | grep dhclient

Thanks!
