DHCPRELEASE on a bootP Address

We just replaced some older wireless access points (AP's) with
new ones and we are having a bit of trouble. The old ones simply
did a DHCPREQUEST halfway in to a lease period which is what one
would expect. We would DHCPACK that request and all was well.
The new AP's go through the DHCPDISCOVER, offer, request and ack
sequence just fine but then we see this DHCPRELEASE request.
Here is a log of one complete cycle of trouble.

	What is "not found" referring to?
	Thank you.
