/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf suggestion

My local ISP server in Seoul (SKbroadand 100Mbps LAN) does not give an IP adress with the Ubuntu 9.10 default DHCP setting. Windows XP works fine but Ubuntu 9.10 (9.04 also in fact) doesn't work. It gets DHCPOFFER timed out.

To make it work, I have to edit the /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to incldue the following line manually,

send dhcp-client-identifier 00:03:d3:13:16:fe;

It would be great that the dhclient automagically sent my MAC address.

I remember in the old days, I didn't need to edit a configuration file to add my MAC address. DHCP just worked. When dhclient came, something went wrong, I guess.
