Follow-up Comment #6, bug #20346 (project lwip):

>However I am just curious why this problem cannot be fixed in lwip code. Any
particular reason? 

Hi Zhenwei,

Perhaps something is not clear: the bug is not in lwIP, but in the BF537 port
of Analog Device. In fact, this is not even a bug, since the netif init HAVE
TO set (or not) NETIF_FLAG_BROADCAST flag if you want to receive broadcast
packets (decide which flags to set is done in the port or by the
"application"). In this port, it doesn't seems to be set (I don't know why).

I use broadcast protocols with lwIP without any problems since 1.1.1 with my
target. Since Ali fix the problem with the NETIF_FLAG_BROADCAST flag, we have
close it as invalid.

About bug #17200, I can't tell, it's pretty old...

Note that with current CVS HEAD, there is some new flags to decide to set or
not (like NETIF_FLAG_ETHARP), and some new options.
