We (Indiana University) have been having problems using bootp
with the packet driver.  Using our sniffer, we found that some
packets (I think short ones) produced by the 3c501 via the packet
driver we not correctly formed.  They may have show up as
fragments, I don't remember exactly.  I'll take another look and
follow up with more prices information.  Our Sun did not
recognize these packets as being bootp requests.
