obiously, the problem is here. The xid is the same on 5 different hosts
I tested with the debugging-enabled kernel. Looking it ipconfig.c I now
understand that with several hosts using the same xid it must go wrong.
I'm currently compiling a new kernel with debugging enabled in rancom.c
to see what's going wrong here. Looks like random_bytes is returning
the same value on all hosts :-(

Can anyone else maybe do a quick check with "ip=dhcp" on two hosts
just to see if the problem with the identical xids just show up here?

I will send the result of the debugging output from random.c.

cu,
Frank
