I've never heard of anyone making this work.

But then again, people tend not to tell us when things work.


The DHCP software has to use BPF sockets on the interfaces in

understand...in terms of link layer framing.  Since we use BPF, we
also have to do our own link layer, IP, UDP, and finally bootp/DHCP.
