To send or receive a broadcast packet you need to put special options on the 
socket on the native side (setsockopt). You need to look if the SO_BROADCAST 
option is mentioned anywhere. If not it won’t work without adding them. And for 
sending them you need almost special privileges on the system. This is not a 
„user feature“.
