I don't know, I'm starting to feel really stupid.

There was another thing I once read that said:

in /etc/rc.d/init.d/networking:

insert one line after "start)"

case "$1" in
  start)
    echo 7 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr

I did it coz it said so.

I'll be honest. I'm very very busy, so I didn't take too much time out to
read the kernel source (which supposedly explained this). It may be for 5.2
only, I don't know.

What I do know is that it now works.

I think it's great you question why we do things, and wish I could too, but
I don't have the luxury of time.
