Synopsis: FreeBSD 6.1 can't send packets to INADDR_BROADCAST State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: bms State-Changed-When: Wed Jun 28 20:24:04 UTC 2006 State-Changed-Why: This behaviour is by design. Please read the manual page ip(4) for information on the IP_ONESBCAST option. The INADDR_BROADCAST destination is by its nature non specific and link local therefore you need to use the IP_ONESBCAST option to cause undirected broadcasts to be sent on a particular interface.
