We're working on it, but unfortunately won't be able to start on
the new interface code until after the DHCPv6 software is out.

Happily, DHCPv6 requires only standard berkeley sockets.  No
raw packets!

But we have a plan to 'solve' this for DHCPv4, thanks to some
folks who donated their brilliant ideas on dhcp-hackers some
time ago, just no time to advance that plan.
