In that case, colour me confused. Dnsmasq is sending, amongst other
stuff, option 97:client-machine-id. You've not explicitly configured it
to do that, and the only implicit way it can happen is when talking the
full PXE protocol. To talk the full PXE protocol, there must be a
pxe-service or pxe-prompt dnsmasq configuration somewhere.
PS. Decoding the logs a bit more, I think there is
pxe-prompt=PXE
somewhere in your config. (Command-line? included files?)
Cheers,
Simon.
