dhclient not sending option 77

Description
Not sure it's a bug, more of something missing. As reported on the forum 2.4 dhclient does not send option 77. This particularly affects customers of Orange France who need to send this optiom. I have re-applied the patches that were done to the 2.3 client, where it works, to the 2.4 client; the user on the forum reported it's working correctly.
Should I do a PR to the main FreeBSD repo ir PR it to pfSense/FreeBSD-Src?
I have issued a PR on this: pfsense/FreeBSD-src - Option 77 Additions to dhclient #8
- Assignee set to Luiz Souza
- Target version changed from 2.4.0 to 2.4.1
- Target version changed from 2.4.1 to 2.4.2
Moving target to 2.4.2 as we need 2.4.1 sooner than anticipated.
- Target version changed from 2.4.2 to 2.4.3

This option is mandatory to replace a livebox from Orange (main Internet Provider in France) using a xDSL or Fiber access.
Without this option there is no internet access.
Could we have it sooner ? To be able to test it !
Many thanks in advance.

I agree with Nicolas,
we are quite a few to replace the Pfsense binaries to make this scenario work in France.
Replacing files on Pfsense is really a bad workaround and we would love the dhcpclient to support other options.
thanks

Is this still planned for 2.4.3 ?
- Status changed from New to Confirmed
Option 77 works on 2.4.3 snapshots, I'm checking what we can do about the VLAN priority.
- Target version changed from 2.4.3 to 2.4.4
- Status changed from Confirmed to New
- Status changed from New to 13
- Status changed from 13 to New
- Status changed from New to Feedback
- Status changed from Feedback to In Progress
- Status changed from In Progress to Feedback
- % Done changed from 0 to 100
It is now possible to set the VLAN Priority for DHCP requests (the same way that is done in DHCPv6).
Please test with the next snapshot.
On 2.4.4.a.20180824.1144, DHCP option 77 (user-class) is sent successfully.
- Status changed from Feedback to Resolved

In 2.4.4-RELEASE-p2
- Ticking Enable dhcpclient VLAN Priority tagging and selecting a priority is not working
- but adding "vlan-pcp 6" as an Option modifiers is tagging the dhclient packets with the correct (6 here) vlan priority
Is this the expected behaviour ?
That is exactly what the GUI option will put into the config but you have to ensure:
1. That you check the "Enable dhcpclient VLAN Priority tagging" box
2. That you set the appropriate value in the drop-down
3. That you do NOT have configuration override enabled or advanced configuration enabled, as these will override the default GUI options with the advanced settings
