Note the differing hardware (!!) addresses:

> Sending on LPF/eth0/00:d0:59:aa:7e:50
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
> Sending on Socket/fallback/fallback-net

> DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
> DHCPACK from 192.168.0.1

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Are you doing some sort if interface renaming, or do you change
the hardware address? Are there any other interfaces at all,
and what hardware addresses do they have?
