Thanks for your reaction and sugestion, Otavio. It doesn't seem likely though:
> this is likely a kernel issue with your NIC. I tested this by changing the (virtual) hardware type of the nic of the Debian Squeeze guest from "PCnet-FAST III (Am79C973)" to "Intel PRO/1000 T Server (82543GC)", commenting out the first eth0 in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and setting the eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces back from auto to allow-hotplug. No effect. The same bug (no dhcp supplied address acquired on the nic) showed up. Changing from allow-hotplug to auto also remedied this. I'll try this evening putting a "pre-up sleep 5" in interfaces and report back. Sincerely, Jan.
