Message:

OK, we found some cases where the legacy ioctl-Interface is used to determinate ip and broadcast address from an interface (olsrd). For many years there is a netlink interface, but some programmers ignore it. With this interface it is not possible to see the internal broadcast route ("ip route show table local | grep ^{broadcast"). I added a "broadcast +" option to all example configs, the broadcast is then determinated automatically by the kernel (tested with various netmask combinations).}
