As I have exactly the same problem i would like to add to this
description my
experience:
* tcpdump tells about the incoming request and probably correct answer.
Both
request and answer are different from those of linux bootp thoug.
These have
some length information attached and work without problem.
* the packet debugger reveils an incoming packet, which appears to be
only one
byte in length (00) which can be changed by changing the bootptab
return address
broadcast to *.*.*.255 to FF.
I hope someone finds out what happens here.
