no luck:

em4: link state changed to UP
Received DHCP Offer packet on em4 from 0.0.0.0 (accepted) (no root path)
Sending DHCP Request packet from interface em4 (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX)
Received DHCP Ack packet on em4 from 0.0.0.0 (accepted) (no root path)
DHCP/BOOTP timeout for server 255.255.255.255
Received DHCP Ack packet on em4 from 0.0.0.0 (accepted) (no root path)
DHCP/BOOTP timeout for server 255.255.255.255
...

The only visible difference is that the first "Received DHCP Ack packet" line is now printed only once, instead of twice as in the previous log.
