I tried using a cisco 876 router as the DHCP server today and had the same problem, so I had to use the clientid kernel parameter to work around it.
Isn't there any other way to prevent dhcp3-server from assigning 2 leases per client, so that we can drop the clientid='' hack? -- UDHCPC not fetching lease from Windows DHCP server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505916 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Edubuntu Bugsquad, which is subscribed to ltsp in ubuntu.
