    Hello, All!

    According to 'man 7 netdevice' :

    SIOCSIFHWBROADCAST
                  Set the hardware broadcast address of a device from
    ifr_hwaddr.
                  This is a privileged operation.

    What's the meaning of "hardware broadcast address"? What's the difference
    from IP broadcast address?

    With best regards, Roman Mashak. E-mail: mrv@tusur.ru
