255.255.255.255 broadcast changed from 4.x to 5.x

2005-10-13 Thread Brian Candler
I've noticed a change in behaviour between FreeBSD 4.9 and FreeBSD 5.4 When sending an undirected broadcast to 255.255.255.255, FreeBSD 4.9 encapsulates this with the broadcast MAC address (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) as the destination. However, FreeBSD 5.4 encapsulates the packet using the MAC address
