Hi,
What is the reason we don't allow ifconfig to turn off IFF_BROADCAST?
The man page for ifconfig says:
[-]broadcast [addr]
If the address argument is given, set the protocol
broadcast address for this interface. Otherwise,
set (or clear) the IFF_BROADCAST flag for the
interface.
If I don't want broadcasts to appear on a certain ethernet interface,
what is the best way of achieving this?
