Does ISC DHCP work with BPF?

  Folks,

In looking at the configure.ac, it looks like ISC DHCP prefers DLPI over 
BPF ( ie it checks to see if a system has DLPI support before checking 
for BPF) .

Has anyone tried to run ISC DHCP with BPF( instead of DLPI)  and been 
successful? When I try it on Solaris, I get this error:
