But the stack shouldn't do duplicate IP checks if it's using 0.0.0.0.
After all, it's quite likely that somebody else is using that address at
the same time to talk to a DHCP server. That's not an error and there's
no need to bring down the interface in that case.
But unfortunately that doesn't explain Vijai's problem...
