This will not work for reboots. The decision that the hardware address is

choosen was not accidental. Not sure if some DHCP server will count on the

ID. (RFC 2131 "Retain DHCP client configuration across server reboots, and,

whenever possible, a DHCP client should be assigned the same configuration

parameters despite restarts of the DHCP mechanism"). If not so I am fine

with the patch.
