I have tested this on Linux "without DCO" and "with DCO", client
and server. The non-DCO server version isn't really helpful as it
puts all tun interface into p2p mode ("routing happens inside OpenVPN"),
but the TAP interfaces shows the expected "broadcast" setting - as does
the "tun / topology subnet" client. On the DCO "tun" servers the
handling of routes/iroutes is different, and the expected netmask + brd
shows up. And the tests still pass :-)
Your patch has been applied to the master and release/2.6 branch
(whether it's "a bugfix" stands to be debated - but it is not very
intrusive and has passed all my system tests, and if the lack of
broadcast did break people's working 2.5 setups they will well
consider it a "bug"... so, "bugfix")
