I don't think that would work, as only the qeth driver actually exposes the layer2 file (and to the best of my knowledge the other upstream drivers support unicast). If other drivers also can't do unicast, then they need to expose this information to us somehow, I'm afraid that I don't know anything about the VMWare driver, but hopefully we can find a way to get this info out of that driver too (would of course be nice if everyone used the same interface...). > Also, to better clarify how ISC dhcp-4.3.0 works.
