      I have an issue where the default internet connection stops getting a DHCP connection after a few days.  No matter if I use WAN, OPT1 or OPT2, my internet connection randomly stops getting a DHCP address after a few days.  I've tried different laptops and different modems, and the issue still persists.  I did not have this issue in 1.2.3.

      I have multiple WAN connections and the only one that stops receiving the DHCP addresses is the default one.  If I switch the default connection to a different interface, it stays up for a while, but eventually that interface will stop renewing it's DHCP address as well.  If I reboot the firewall, everything comes up fine and it's good for another 3-7 days.  It's totally random when it goes down.  PFSense is running on a Lenovo Thinkpad T43 with 3 USB LAN Adapters.  I then switched to a Lenovo Thinkpad T61.  I've tried multiple snapshots and they all have the same issue.  I am currently running 2.0-BETA5 (amd64) built on Sat Jan 29 12:48:57 EST 2011.

      Here is a portion log from the system logs:
