Hello,


In 2014 I submitted a patch to dhcpclient which allowed the use of Linux raw sockets:
https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/commit/7deeac78b8fc50cdcd4eb7db7d9a4bee83fa2db6#diff-dfcf78ba03620e8ddf47e7e1ef970cad


But  in the current 3.0.x HEAD the code does not exist anymore. :'(
Has it been removed on purpose, or is it a mistake ?


The code disappeared between the following two commits:

30 Aug 2015
https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/blob/517b0cfa104d30c84316c7d8fdc5b17d43ef553b/src/modules/proto_dhcp/dhcpclient.c
https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/commit/517b0cfa104d30c84316c7d8fdc5b17d43ef553b#diff-dfcf78ba03620e8ddf47e7e1ef970cad
=> OK

=> The code was removed :'(
