Hi all,

I am trying to give a better view for the vendor-specific option in the
bootp/dhcp options.
The attached patch creates subtrees for all vendor-spefific suboptions.

But there is one issue left I do not know how to solve:
I give out the values as string, number (if 1, 2 or 4 bytes) and as an
IP (if 4 bytes)
because I do not know what is actually the real interpretation.
Every vendor may use that option and the vaules are different types for
the same subcodes.

Does anyone have a good idea how I could decide what view to use (how I
should present
the data for each suboption)?

Thank you,
Martin
