Correct. We can still optionally configure it, but the default should be what I do in my patch. We could combine Eric's and my patch.
By Eric, do you mean Gerardo? Anyone want to resubmit a combination?
Yes, Gerardo, of course. I somehow confused the submitter.
Right now, netcfg doesn't have a way to configure the broadcast either, and just computes it automatically.
Do you have a use case where the broadcast is not the last address in the subnet? I haven't seen this.
I'll let Dave asses whether or not this (setting a non-standard broadcast) is something we actually want to support
We should add an analogous patch to netcfg, so we ensure netcfg doesn't have less features than initscripts (right now, netcfg always uses 'broadcast +').
