  Log:
  If we have a working link again after connectivity loss, or if we need
  to renew a lease, contact the dhcp-server directly instead of using
  INADDR_BROADCAST all the time. This should fix some brain-dead dhcp
  server implementations which give you all the time a new IP if the
  lease has not yet expired.
  
  Instead of using ICMP to check if the server is alive, we just check
  the return value of sendto() and additionally have a timeout there.
