hello rainer! i would like to repay the help you gave me on the kde thread
with kmail, nepomuk and baloo ... but i don't know if i can.
we had a similar problem where the ip address of one of our virtual machines
kept being reset because the mac address on the bridge was being changed to
the veth address right after we started the firewall.
we solved this problem by setting the bridge's mac:
ip link set br0 address 00:1c:f0:a1:b5:23 (different from the veth address)
http://backreference.org/2010/07/28/linux-bridge-mac-addresses-and-dynamic-ports/
we found this out of course using ifconfig.
i came across this article which may be of some use because it talks about
extending and reserving your lease:
Reduce or Eliminate Inconvenient DHCP Address Changes

hope you get the answer you are looking for, if mine don't suffice.
