/proc/net/bootpc support for non-ASCII vendor specific tags?
Currently it appears that /proc/net/bootpc assumes that all reserved vendor specific tags contain ASCII information. Is this part of the BOOTP standard? I hadn't thought so, but maybe I'm missing something.
Assuming that binary information is allowable, would a patch printing out tags 128-254 of the vendor specific information as raw hex characters be considered acceptable/useful?
I need this for my own purposes, and I'm just wondering if I should bother trying to push it up.

Bah...I just realized I can use hexdump to get the raw data. Sorry to bother you all, return to your regularly scheduled activities.
