I haven't seemed to need net_raw when using dnsmasq as a dhcp server;
however, when enabling the tftpd server functionality, I did need to add
the net_bind_service capability.

Also for supporting the latter, a tunable/dnsmasq containing a definition
for @{TFTPROOT} and adding:

  @{TFTPROOT}/ r,
  @{TFTPROOT}/** r,

may be useful.

If the default configuration file is to be believed, the default
tftp-root is /var/ftpd (I use a non-standard location locally).
