@jibel, @julia I have a workaround for this in
https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/2098 . Could you please give this a
try?

My suspicion here is that when this happens the two APs have different
DHCP servers. The workaround forces a DHCP lease renewal when roaming
between APs. However, even if this works in your case, I am not sure if
this is the right thing to do. If you have a network sharing SSID
between APs (usual case in campus networks, for instance), you usually
have just one DHCP server in the whole network. So in cases where the
wireless network is properly configured, we would ask for lease renewals
unnecessarily when we roam between APs.

Note also that Android actually handles the case of having different
DHCP servers in the same way, so maybe this solution is not completely
insane. I still need to check in the AOSP code if there is some
additional check going on before asking for the new IP.
