Given all this talk about DHCP has raised a few questions in my mind about why we need bpf for DHCP, when by spec DHCP is supposed to be backwards compatible with BootP, and bpf is not needed for BootP. Am I missing something here? I myself using BootP to connect to a DHCP server, and I don't have bpf installed.
