Just out of curiosity, the kernel apparently doens't set the broadcast
address on a device according to the netmask of said device, i.e. ifconfig
eth0 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.252 will assign the ip and netmask as
specified, but will set broadcast to 10.255.255.255 even though(If I
understand correctly) broadcast should be 10.10.10.3, am I off my rocker,
or is this true? and if so, why does the kernel set netmask if not
specified, but not figure out the broadcast?
