There have been some complaints about dhcpd / dhclient
emitting messages for interfaces that they shouldn't
be looking at on Linux, like:
' Listening on LPF/sit0/
  Sending on   LPF/sit0/
' ( IPV6-in-IPV4 tunnel)

' Listening on LPF/lo/
  Sending on   LPF/lo/
' ( Loopback )

And then logging messages like:
' dhclient: sit0: unknown hardware address type 776
'

To forestall these annoying messages, here is a patch
against dhcp-3.0.2rc2/common/discover.c .
