Re: UDP Broadcasts not delivered to IP address

I just found out, SO_BINDTODEVICE requires root privs.  If I am a
regular user, and I want to recv a broadcast sent to 255.255.255.255
on a specific interface, how can this be done?  Binding to 0.0.0.0, it
seems only broadcasts will come in on whatever if has the default
route.

I'm trying to work around the fact that linux will not receive
broadcasts when binding a socket to an IP other than INADDR_ANY.
Windows does this, and it's required for the wine project.
