     I'm trying to get a NetBSD 1.3.2 system to work with a Shaw (Canada)
cable modem.  So far, I've been unsuccessful using the dhclient that
comes with 1.3.2 and the latest version from ftp.isc.org.  It does work
with a Win95 box.  Here's a snippet from a DHCP_DISCOVER packet originating
from the Win95 box that I captured using tcpdump:

xid:0x831b831b secs:1536 vend-rfc1048 T53:1 T61:1.0.96.151.187.239.49
T50:3504226328 HN:"cs840999-a^@" (Hl 32, id 1792)

Can anybody tell me what options I need to use on NetBSD to duplicate
this (or, at least the important parts)?  Alternatively, has anybody
managed to get NetBSD to work with a Shaw (Canada) cable modem?
