Package: busybox
Version: v1.18.4
Severity: low

This patch applies on top of my previous VLAN and numeric DHCP option recognition patch.

Whist this previous patch allows you to have DHCP options that are unknown to Busybox to be passed numerically to the udhcpc script, I found that there was no way of actually adding them to the list of requested options passed to the DHCP server. This rectifies this in that you can now request DHCP options by number. For example:

udhcpc -O43

This adds option 43 (vendor specific information) to the set of requested options.
