While examining a capture file that was using DHCP relay suboption 6 (see
RFC3993), I noticed that wireshark was printing "invalid agent option" for the
suboption 6 part. I decided to look at the code in
epan/dissectors/packet-bootp.c and noticed that 0.99.6 only handles suboptions
1 and 2 (circuit ID and remote ID), and treats all others as invalid. The SVN
code handles suboption 9, and that's it.
According to http://www.iana.org/assignments/bootp-dhcp-parameters, suboptions
from 1 to 10 have been defined. 3 is reserved, and most of the others have
their own RFC. For a start I've attached a patch that decodes suboption 6 just
as 1 and 2, and also suboption 3. This might not be entirely correct, since
suboptions 1 and 2 are opaque values (RFC3046), while 6 is an ASCII text
string.
