[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#343535: cupsys: BrowseAddress @IF(name)/@LOCAL doesn't work

[Juergen Kreileder]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.23-12
Severity: normal


If I use 

	BrowseAddress @IF(lan)
	BrowseAddress @IF(wifi)

or
	BrowseAddress @LOCAL

no broadcast packets get sent over the broadcast addresses of the two
interfaces.


If I specify the broadcast addresses manually with

	BrowseAddress 192.168.1.255
	BrowseAddress 192.168.2.255

broadcasting works fine.


$ ip a s lan ; ip a s wifi
3: lan: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:40:f4:8b:2d:14 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.1.1/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global lan
4: wifi: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:40:f4:8b:2d:13 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.2.1/24 brd 192.168.2.255 scope global wifi

The 'lan' & 'wifi' interfaces are standard ethernet ports which have
been renamed with udev.
