We found the root of the problem. In our case the problem was located in the network driver e1000e. We sniffed the network *on* the PC and *before* the PC and found out that DHCP offers were sent, indeed, but not forwarded through the driver (for what reason, ever).
The upgrade of e1000e to 3.1.0.2 solved our problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1350759 Title: dhclient logs DHCPDISCOVER request (stdout and syslog) but doesn't send anything To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/isc-dhcp/+bug/1350759/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
