[U-Boot-Users] DHCP: u-boot vs. busybox

[Steven Scholz]

Hi there,

I just noticed that my board get's different IPs from the DHCP server 
depending on wether U-Boot or busybox udhcpc did the request.

The dhcp server log shows that they're using the same MAC:

 From U-Boot:
DHCPDISCOVER from 00:a0:33:01:f9:97 via eth0
DHCPOFFER on 10.0.10.220 to 00:a0:33:01:f9:97 via eth0
DHCPREQUEST for 10.0.10.220 (10.0.2.9) from 00:a0:33:01:f9:97 via eth0
DHCPACK on 10.0.10.220 to 00:a0:33:01:f9:97 via eth0

 From linux-2.4.27/busybox:
DHCPDISCOVER from 00:a0:33:01:f9:97 via eth0
DHCPOFFER on 10.0.10.174 to 00:a0:33:01:f9:97 via eth0
DHCPREQUEST for 10.0.10.174 (10.0.2.9) from 00:a0:33:01:f9:97 via eth0
DHCPACK on 10.0.10.174 to 00:a0:33:01:f9:97 via eth0

Doing several rebooting I still see the same.

Any idea how this could happen? I thought I would get the same IP fir the 
same MAC as long as the lease is valid...
