really any broadcast?

or just to e.g. 255.255.255.255?
i mean does it also block broadcast to the configured broadcast address of
the interface?

sound a bit like, while windows tries to look like apple, apple (and ubuntu
also) trie to function like windows,.. *g

reminds me a bit on some problems with an 0.5.6 r3 (linux) which crashed 2
times when i just blocked/unblocked olsr traffic on one of its interfaces,
.
i mean i added an iptables rule, and realised a bit later that olsr was
completely gone,..
.
and when i removed the rule again 2 days later, same happened, but as new
tip version dont`seem affected, this is just a old bug, and i didn`t debug
any further,..
.
so this story is just fyi, especially when next olsr release is r4 is (based
on r3 + backported patches)
.
