As far as I know, the source address of a packet should never be set to the broadcast address. The patch seems to be testing for the source address being a broadcast, which should not happen in normal opperation. > In short, both the bug description and the fix are incomplete. Was the patch you submitted one that you were actually using, or one you extracted from our own custom rules? It doesn't make alot of sense to me in the form it is in, but if it got confused when transcribed from other rules that would explain it. David.
