DHCP for multiple NICs

bimmerdriver
Normally I never connect any of my laptops to the lan using a wired connection. However, I've been moving a laptop between a wired and wifi connection and I've noticed a problem that appears to be related to DHCP trying to use the same ip address for both. It seems to be causing a conflict. Is there a way to allocate different ip addresses to avoid a conflict?

    I have configured DHCP for all of my hosts. Until now, I hadn't switched any between wired and wifi. utm does not allow there to be multiple ipv4/ipv6 addresses for a host, so I used the same addresses, which causes a conflict. Considering that hosts can and do often have more than one nic (e.g., wired and wifi or multiple wired) this is a limitation that should be fixed. I can't think of of another fix than to create a separate host entry for each nic.
