I am attempting port a program to linux that listens to broadcast UDP packets from a particular device while performing a network boot. This UDP broadcast is received OK if it is from the all zeroes 0.0.0.0 address to the all ones broadcast address. But if the packet is from for example 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.255 (with subnet mask 255.255.255.0) the packet does not appear to be received on an UDP socket bound to INADDR_ANY. The device in questions its subnet but not its IP address so it uses this peculiar broadcast. Is there any special rule I need to enable to receive these kind of broadcasts?
