Hi, Here are my findings from a previous attempt at compiling dhcp.

Not really. IMHO, get_hw_addr is an orthogonal feature poorly abstracted in isc-dhcp. To choose the implementation you have to use dirty hacks like the following: https://lists.isc.org/mailman/htdig/dhcp-hackers/2009-March/001781.html The easiest way of getting it working under GNU/Hurd is by using sockets for sending and receiving packets and LPF's get_hw_addr. However, I found some trouble with hardware types identified with an integer bigger than 255 (ARPHRD_IEEE802_TR and ARPHRD_FDDI) and I gave up. Leaving them out when compiling for GNU is probably the easiest workaround.
