This is the patch that "fix" this issue...
I have been using this patch for almost a year and works perfectly

static int dhcp_send(struct netdev *dev, struct iovec *vec)
{
...
 - bootp.yiaddr = dev->ip_addr;
 + bootp.yiaddr = INADDR_ANY;
 + bootp.flags = htons(0x800);
...
}

I have been talking to Debian people (Daniel Baumann, )who have proved their
complete lack of understanding/interest; they just do not care about this bug.
Talking to them is wasting my time; hopefully Ubuntu will fix this soon.

NOTE:
Please consider ipconfig needs to know (command line parameter)
if your server is of type "bootp" or "dhcp", if this parameter is wrong
ipconfig gives up.
