From 991f5121f0637956620e0b6e40ac7a03e050a5d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Murray Stokely Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2005 15:24:00 +0000 Subject: Add a comment to note that pseudo-device bpf is required for DHCP. This is mentioned in the Handbook but it is not as obvious to new users why bpf is needed compared to the other largely self-explanatory items in GENERIC.
