Good question. I can only speak to my last clean install of 8.10 which was nominal with no dhcp acquisition issues.
I haven't tried the Jackalope yet.

Status in “dhcp” source package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: apt: 0.7.9ubuntu16 8.04 New user, two installs of heron with cd to clean hds. Both installs encountered dns configuration issues after install. Scenario: user boots, apps access internet for 2-3 minutes, then sit idle (read email, page, updates, etc.). If no routing requests extend outside of network, dns records are not retained. Local network locations are still routable, ping works, but no app can get DNS. To get out, dhcp release/renew is required. I was able to research the issue and thanks to handy's post of Oct 17 2006 <http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1629946&postcount=3> the issue was discovered in the dhclient.conf. First, I edited prepend domain-name-servers and added my two dns entries. Then I changed the about:config value of IPv6 to false per Handy. Bingo, done. I'd looked for this solution about a week. Is there some reason the DNS info is not automatiicaly prepended to the dhclient.conf file by default? Or if it is supposed to, is this a bug over two installs? This happened with two different NICs on a Linksys WRT54GL using standard firmware while accessing an Earthlink powered by Comcast cable account. Yeah, maybe cheap routers matter, but imho the dns info should be retained for more than 2-3 minutes of idle time.
