Hi Roy,

some recent QMI modems work only in "raw-ip" mode [1], [2]. So far,
only udhcpc can acquire dynamic IP address via this protocol.

What do you think about adding support for this protocol?

Unsure how udhcpc works and dhcpcd doesn't.
If an IP address isn't set, udhcpc spits out a L2 address still:
https://git.busybox.net/busybox/tree/networking/udhcp/packet.c

Can you provide logs of dhcpcd not working on one, or access to such a device via ssh?
