What kind of broadcast?  Ethernet or IP??

Check the packets being received using tcpdump

>From man tcpdump:

              ether broadcast
                     True if the packet is an ethernet broadcast packet.
The
                     ether keyword is optional.

              ip broadcast
                     True  if the packet is an IP broadcast packet.  It
checks
                     for both the all-zeroes and  all-ones  broadcast
conven-
                     tions, and looks up the local subnet mask.

so

tcpdump -c 50 ether broadcast or ip broadcast

Depending upon what the broadcasts are...

Ethernet broadcasts are counted such as (R)ARP counts.

IP broadcast data is collected in a special host, myGlobals.broadcastEntry,
but never reported...  I suppose it could be added as a separate report...
you can try the attached patch (against the current cvs) - it's crude, but
sort of seems to work for my limited setup.
