Hi, Richard

IMHO, all networking implementations should handle the cable offline event. Consider
this situation. I unplugged the network cable and connect it to a new network switch
after 10 seconds. If the DHCP renew is not triggered, the network will break. I think in 
normal cases, it should already been handled properly. Unless there is a strong 
justification for not doing this. In that case, we shouldn't renew DHCP anyway.

Thanks
