[Etherboot-developers] 4.6.13 patches

[Ken Y. <ke...@nl...>]

I've started work on 4.6.13. One thing I've put in is for the client to
send an option 60 (vendor-class-identifier) of "Etherboot" in the
DHCPDISCOVER message.  dhcp-3.0 can use this information in conditionals
and presumably can be set to reply with a tag that says, yes I know
Etherboot.  Then Etherboot can ignore offers from other DHCP servers on
the same segment (a compile option).

If anybody is happy to install ISC dhcp-3.0 and help test this, let me
know.

I'll help test this I don't have a lot of time but I'll do what
I can do in my spare moments.
