Great! I can confirm it works with the patch.

Thanks, with that setting, the auth option is now sent.
But it seems to generate other things in the value field. dhcpcd sends
this as the authentication value:
00:00:00:de:84:97:45:46:59:f3:a6:66:74:69:2f:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

Whereas my ISP seems to require that the value only contain the string
configured: "fti/xxxxxxx":
00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:66:74:69:2f:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

Is there a way to only send that?

My ISP is Orange, in France. Their new optical fiber infrastructure
has been migrated from pppoe to ethernet+dhcp, but their dhcp servers
are a bit silly :(.
