Yes but you can't fix what you can't reproduce.  You're the only one who
has reported this.  Have you tried running a tcpdump from another
machine on your network (or something like it ethereal would be easier).
To see what exactly is going on?  This might give you a hint as to why
it's failing.

Also, there are several different DHCP clients in the distribution.
dhcpcd, dhcp-client, and pump.  Have you tried all of them?  Just rpm -e
the one you're currently using and rpm -ivh the other one.

Constantly complaining about a bug only you are having without providing
information to help resolve it, especially when nobody else has the
necessary hardware to replicate it isn't going to solve your issue.
