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.
