The issue is that iPXE doesn't handle DHCPNACK at all. It doesn't change the DHCP state.

If needs to check for NACK, here: https://github.com/ipxe/ipxe/blob/master/src/net/udp/dhcp.c#L560 and set: `dhcp_set_state ( dhcp, &dhcp_state_discover );`.

It seems that fixing this in MAAS is not the correct thing to do, as the DHCP server is sending a NACK but the client is not handling it.
