+ help
+ Some buggy DHCP servers will send DHCP offer packets with option
+ field larger than we expect (which might also be considered a
+ buffer overflow attempt). These packets are normally discarded.
+ If circumstances beyond your control force you to support such
+ servers, this may help. The upper limit (924) makes dhcpc accept
+ even 1500 byte packets (maximum-sized ethernet packets).
+
+ This options does not make dhcp[cd] emit non-standard
+ sized packets.
+
+ Known buggy DHCP servers:
+ 3Com OfficeConnect Remote 812 ADSL Router:
+ seems to confuse maximum allowed UDP packet size with
+ maximum size of entire IP packet, and sends packets which are
+ 28 bytes too large.
+ Seednet (ISP) VDSL: sends packets 2 bytes too big.
