Thanks for the suggestion!
It seems that with `lladdr random` removed, the problem does not
seem to disappear.

I try to make it harder for my ISP to gather information about the
device I'm using, thus was using random MAC address.

Skimming through the code for dhcpleased, looks like there's no
invocation of the SIOCSIFLLADDR ioctl, so I would assume that the
lladdr stays the same unless the netstart script is re-run (thus
invoking ifconfig to change lladdr), but I will to test that to
make sure.
It smells of a bug somewhere... I mean, as long as the lladdr does
not change in the middle of the lease, then the router should have
been able to successfully obtain a new IP address, right?
Best Regards
