No joy, but perhaps some data.

Listening on LPF/eth0/00:19:d2:2d:f2:76
Sending on   LPF/eth0/00:19:d2:2d:f2:76
Sending on   Socket/fallback
DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
ip length 326 disagrees with bytes received 534.
accepting packet with data after udp payload.
DHCPACK from 192.168.10.1
bound to 192.168.10.2 -- renewal in 42837 seconds.

and in the kernel log, this is repeated.
