It looks like ifplugd is polling those interfaces as if they were wired interfaces. If you haven't already, have a look at /etc/default/ifplugd (along with man ifplugd, of course!). I think there are options to control polling modes and which interfaces are monitored and when. On reading your post, I found a similar process on my box: my firewire interface (which I have never used) has been trying to send DHCP requests every second for two years, all faithfully logged. I removed that interface from the above file and the chatter stopped. I don't get why the other interfaces don't do the same thing. If I figure it out I'll post it.
