Use /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks, which is called more than just at exit
time.  Mine is:

if [ x$reason = xPREINIT ]; then
        if [ x$interface = xwi0 ]; then
                /usr/sbin/wiconfig $interface -p 1
        fi
fi

Which still uses wiconfig rather than ifconfig, but the principle is
the same.

I'd prefer the change.  No-one who is habitually using adhoc mode
seems to have commented though...
