Is this them trying to gain access still or something else?
This is perfectly normal, when a machine wants to get an IP address with DHCP it sends out a broadcast using the MAC address ffffffffffff to 255.255.255.255 this is the broadcast address for the network. Meaning, it's sending out a request to everything on the network and waiting for something to reply.
