dhcpcd CAN work on IEEE FireWire interfaces.

However, BPF does not appear to operate on these, so we report the error
and continue.
When BPF supports FireWire for DHCP, dhcpcd will magically start to work.

 .It Dv FAIL
-dhcpcd failed to contact any DHCP servers or use an old lease.
+dhcpcd failed to operate on the interface.
