I also have a need for this. I have a bunch of boards that I need
to feed a BOOTP like response to with a file to loaded as kernel,
but currently I have to give it a specific MAC address. It would
be really useful to have an option in a DHCP server which allowed
a wildcard in the MAC address so that I could take all boards from
a particular series (typically a manufacturer) and send the same
file to any of them that I attach. But I have yet to find a
BOOTP or DHCP server which does this.
