I didn't know this, I just always set my MAC address to get the same IP each time. Turns out there  is an issue with changing your MAC on the tap0 driver. Doing a TCPdump looking for DHCP packets finally clued me in. The "ifconfig tap0 ether <MAC>" would look like it worked fine. Ifconfig tap0 even reported the set MAC addr, however TCPdump was still showing the original MAC addresses making the DHCP request.
