Your point is valid. Before it goes in, there are some points to look at though: - Integration with bootp functionality (if possible) - DHCP-WIDE requires you to have bpf configured into your kernel for a GENERIC kernel, this is VERY BAD - is there a more elegant way to handle this? I certainly would not like to see the generic kernel in the distribution going out into the world with bpf enabled.
