Description:
After upgrading dhcpcd 4 -> 5 getting IP for the WiFi Adapter fails with an error:

dhcpcd: wlan0: ignoring DHCP message; no Server ID
dhcpcd: wlan0: ignoring DHCP message; no Server ID
dhcpcd: wlan0: ignoring DHCP message; no Server ID
dhcpcd: timed out
:: MyNet up - DHCP IP lease attempt failed [FAIL]

Do not know if it is netcfg, dhcpcd or driver error, 'cause on other machine (using wicd, rt2500 adapter and dhcpcd 5) is everything ok. Downgrading dhcpcd 5 -> 4 solved the problem.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
netcfg 2.1.3-3
dhcpcd 5.0.2-1
* hardware
rt73 based WiFi USB-Stick

Steps to reproduce:
Try to init netcfg WiFi profile using dhcpcd
This task depends upon

this is fixed in netcfg 2.2.0b1

No, this is not a bug in netcfg at all, but your dhcp server.

Your DHCP server is not following the RFC and not behaving as it should. In v5, dhcpcd became a lot stricter, hence it complains now. dhcpcd v5.0.4 is in [testing] and it contains an option to allow these dhcp servers.
