Bug Description

Dhclient for some reason keeps sending DHCPREQUEST-s and "forgets" to ask for the same address it had before. It causes frequent IP address changes and subsequent Jabber/IRC reconnects and ssh connection freezes.

It seems that problem is elsewhere. If I use plain dhclient, it behaves normally and after reboot, nm-applet offers me only "manual configuration". Funny thing is that nm-related packages were upgraded about day before bug started to occur and that day worked fine.
