I'll grab the code and take a look, though I'm not running any modern kernels here
yet. The bootpc code needs a few changes for recent kernels anyway since the test
for NET2/NET3 no longer works since OLD_SIOCGIFHWADD went away (I don't know when
since I wasn't following the NET changes at the time).
Do you know if it manages to send the bootp request out? (i.e. can you see the packets
on the net). If it can do that then receiving the reply should be relatively easy...
