I have just checked Jaunty's klibc, and the patch is applied.

Perform the following steps:

apt-get source klibc
cd klibc-1.5.14/usr/kinit/ipconfig
$EDITOR dhcp_proto.c

and check line 175. Verify that it is:

bootp.giaddr = INADDR_ANY;

If you are still having trouble network booting, _file a different bug_. This bug is specifically addressing the application of this patch to klibc, because setting the giaddr flag on a dhcp request breaks RFC 2131.

Now that the patch is applied, there is no reason to reopen this bug.
