D7652: Prepare for better broadcast/neighbor detection

[Daniel Tang]

daniel.z.tg added a comment.


  Can everyone verify from the logcat that it detects broadcast addresses, and it properly marks them as usable?
  In particular, the regular WiFi use case needs to be checked, as it is the setup that most people use:
  
  1. Connect to the same network, a KDE computer using any type of connection, and an Android device using WiFi.
  2. On the Android, the logcat should show the "wlan0" interface being found, marked as usable, and give a broadcast address. Note this address as the "broadcast address."
  3. Run the command "ip a" on the KDE computer. Find the interface used to connect to the network, and note the address below next to "inet." Note this address as the "computer address."
  4. Check that the "computer address" will receive packets sent to the "broadcast address."
  
  Here are the logs of the expected output:
