Comment 13 for bug 1529815

Talat,

I was able to set the Broadcast flag in a DHCP negotiation when using IB interface.

Trusty patch is possibly ready.

TCPDUMP from the OFFER and ACK:

I'll review this tomorrow and release the PPA for you to test.

I have also to review isc-dhcp IB support for Vivid/Wily/Xenial.
