Well, I'm sure now that the problem is not related to FAI or to my 
config : I just need to build the nfsroot with the 27th May Wheezy 
snapshot to make my server work fine (of course the initrd only is relevant)
Between this snapshot and the current version, live-initramfs has not 
changed, but the klibc-utils package has been upgraded from version 
2.0~rc3-1 to 2.0-2, so I believe the change is in ipconfig.
