Comment (by pdziepak):
It looks like `BNetworkAddress::SetTo()` and/or constructor may be the
culprit. DHCP client construct fServer with AF_INET, `nullptr` host and
DHCP port (c.f. http://cgit.haiku-
os.org/haiku/tree/src/servers/net/DHCPClient.cpp#n430 ). Then it expects
`SetAddress()` never to fail. However, `SetAddress()` expects address
family to be set properly which may not happen in the insides of `SetTo()`
try to be more smart than they are expected to be. Someone will more free
time will have to investigate this more closely.
