[Dnsmasq-discuss] Specifying boot options for specific type of hardware.

Hello!

I would like to specify specific boot options for a set of machines which
can be identified by the first three MAC octetts. I have tried this:

dhcp-range=192.168.1.130,192.168.1.150,15m
dhcp-range=192.168.1.155,192.168.1.190,15m
dhcp-host=00:50:9c:*:*:*,myvendor
dhcp-boot=net:myvendor,/tftpboot/myvendor-boot,tftpserver,192.168.1.253

But this (obviously) fails because dhcp-host gives no way to set a
network-id.

I've seen the dhcp-vendorclass and dhcp-userclass options.  But something
like dhcp-macclass seems to be missing.  I'm sure I'm missing something.

Any hints?
