Subject: 40network/ifup: add "brd +" to "ip addr add"
X-Git-Tag: 014~18
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d1b7efd57874e61d4ad3792fea56cf0979d9dc6b;p=thirdparty%2Fdracut.git

40network/ifup: add "brd +" to "ip addr add"

Unlike "ifconfig", the "ip" command does not set a broadcast address
unless explicitly requested.

add "brd +" to make "ip" calculate the broadcast address on the fly
