I talked with the ISC DHCPD folks, and what seemed to be the person
responsible for making the client function said he wasn't going to do it
in the near future, because "the Linux guys didn't provide any
documentation on how to use LSF". I e-mailed this person a copy of the
bpf manpage, the Documentation/networking/filter file, as well as Van
Jacobsen & co's paper on BPF. The I found the latest copy of dhcpcd (see
the DHCP HOWTO on sunsite, near the top of the document. This works quite
well for me under 2.1), and its docs mention that nothing about BPF at
all, rather that they just open the socket with a different option
(AF_PACKET or something?). I haven't heard back from the ISC guys, and
don't really care now, since dhcpcd works for me, but I do think I now
have an idea of what this will take to make function.
