I'm the author of the Internet Software Consortium DHCP server. One of the operating systems on which ISC dhcpd is supported is FreeBSD. A FreeBSD user has reported a problem in that on FreeBSD, BPF apparently swaps the ethertype supplied by the user program when sending a packet. If true, this breaks code in dhcpd that works on all other platforms that support BPF, including NetBSD, BSD/OS, and DEC Alpha OSF/1. Is this user correct, and if so, is this a known bug that is going to be fixed, or a ``feature''? The FreeBSD port is completely clean other than this, and I would really prefer not to have to put in an ifdef for something like this. _MelloN_
