This won't work.   I should take that code out.   If you want to run
dhcpd on FreeBSD with one interface, just compile it with USE_SOCKETS
instead of USE_BPF and set up a route to 255.255.255.255 pointing out
the ethernet port.

In NetBSD 1.0, USE_RAW_SEND would reliably crash the system, although
I'm pretty sure that's fixed now.   The kernel just doesn't know how
to do what I was trying to get it to do.   Sigh.
