Description

If MAC spoofing is enabled on an interface that is a DHCP client, in some circumstances it can get itself into a mess with cycling the link on the NIC repeatedly, preventing the system from functioning. A release/renew is typically enough to trigger it. Rebooting is the only way to fully clean that up that I've found at least.
