Title:
  dhclient tries to send request over non-existent interface, floods
  syslog

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  From time to time I'm using a Bluetooth network device (my cellphone).
  In Linux it shows as bnep0. However when disconnected, this device
  disappears from ifconfig -a output. Still dclient floods  syslog with
  the following:

  Jul  2 22:09:59 void dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on bnep0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 (xid=0x2c92a43c)
  Jul  2 22:09:59 void dhclient: send_packet: No such device or address
  Jul  2 22:09:59 void dhclient: dhclient.c:2094: Failed to send 300 byte long packet over bnep0 interface.

  That continues even after networking is disabled altogether.

  Also, every 15 seconds the following is logged:

  Jul  2 22:29:03 void dhclient: PRC: Renewing lease on wlan0.
  Jul  2 22:29:03 void dhclient: XMT: Renew on wlan0, interval 10180ms.
  Jul  2 22:29:03 void dhclient: RCV: Reply message on wlan0 from fe80::5a23:8cff:fea3:1ec5.

  Jul  2 22:29:03 void dbus[1025]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.nm_dispatcher'
  Jul  2 22:29:03 void systemd[1]: Started Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service.

  Given that bnep0 interface does not exist, the problem most likely is
  not in the dhclient itself, but something else that configures it to
  use non-existent interface.
