PATCH DHCPv6/PPP

[Patrik Lahti]

Anybody?

I just want to help get DHCPv6/PPP supported for everyone to enjoy, and 
I thought the best way would be to help with some code rather than just 
talk about it. Please let me know if there is another place I should be 
proposing patches or if there is any procedure I should follow or 
anything else? Let me know if you prefer that I work against a 
head/trunk code instead of 4.1.1 (I just don't know where it is?).

I think the patch is pretty simple, but I'm no expert and I was focused 
on getting support for PPP so I may have overlooked something...

Thanks again for your work on DHCP,
/P
