The bcast flag in ardupilot is primitive: it still needs the user to pass a valid broadcast address and doesn't work without one.
This makes it harder for writing an init unit file since you need to know what's the IP of the drone when you are configuring it. Even on scenarios where you are configuring Linux to act as an Access Point, depending on the right interface/address is bad for integrators and distro creators.
Proposal here is to use netlink which is the way Linux exports this information. With the Poller interface it's very easy to query the list of interfaces and dynamically adapt to it. Ideally we should be able to have a "no setup fee" for people installing ardupilot on a Linux board.
