The controversial patch is - --- ../../../../klibc-1.3.35/usr/kinit/ipconfig/dhcp_proto.c 2006-06-08 17:47:18.000000000 +0200 +++ dhcp_proto.c 2006-07-03 15:12:53.000000000 +0200 @@ -46,6 +46,7 @@ }; static uint8_t dhcp_end[] = { + 60,5,'k','l','i','b','c', /* Vendor Class */ 255, }; It sends hardcoded the DHCP Vendor Class. It surely does something else then the in-kernel code, but that is the whole idea about making DHCP requests identifible. Making the Vendor Class string a command line option would mean to build the whole DHCP packet in RAM, where it now resides in ROM. I have not researched/explored what the increase in code would be for the command line parsing. I would also be happy with: - --- ../../../../klibc-1.3.35/usr/kinit/ipconfig/dhcp_proto.c 2006-06-08 17:47:18.000000000 +0200 +++ dhcp_proto.c 2006-07-03 15:12:53.000000000 +0200 @@ -46,6 +46,7 @@ }; static uint8_t dhcp_end[] = { + /* 60,5,'k','l','i','b','c', Vendor Class */ 255, }; It makes live of people who need the identify the DHCP reqeust some what easier.
