Can dhcpclient handle broadcasting ?

[Chaigneau, Nicolas]

Additionally, I've noticed that :
- if the client host has multiple interfaces,
- and at least one of them already has an IP address,
Then the source IP address cannot be 0.0.0.0 (even with "Packet-Src-IP-Address=0.0.0.0").
An actual IP address is automatically used as source.

I've first tried to force the interface with setsockopt and option "SO_BINDTODEVICE", but this apparently doesn't do anything useful...

So I've done the following:

Add an option to dhcpclient allowing to specify which network interface to use.
Open a raw socket on the low level packet interface. This allows packet data to be left unchanged by the device driver.
Encode Ethernet (send to ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff), IP and UDP layers manually. And let FreeRADIUS do the DHCP stuff, as before.

(This required new specific socket / send / recv functions.)



Maybe there's a better way to do this... I couldn't find one, though.

Nicolas.

  Yes.  It should probably do that automatically if dhcpclient.c detects that the destination address isn't a unicast one.
