It probably won't work with Berkeley Sockets.  I've never tried
on Linux, but I can't imagine it working based on some other things.
You'll need to use the "LPF" ("Linux Packet Filter") as is the default
when dhclient is built.

This is determiend at build-time, so whoever built your sources
for you over-rode the default.

It's a common library shared with the DHCP server, and the most
frequent reason I hear for doing this is server security related
(LPF bypasses linux firewalls).
