Since FreeBSD 8.0, there is some changes about routing table, in particular
the IPv4 'link-local' route.
In my case, i have this config: em0 192.168.0.1 / 24
In FreeBSD < 8, if I run 'route get 192.168.0.0', it tell me :
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
route to: 192.168.0.0
destination: 192.168.0.0
mask: 255.255.255.0

And in FreeBSD >= 8

Maybe the command parsing got more strict? It looks like you must add
the netmask to make it work:
$ route -n get 192.168.0.0
route: writing to routing socket: No such process
$ route -n get 192.168.0.0/24
route to: 192.168.0.0
destination: 192.168.0.0
mask: 255.255.255.0
interface: iflan
flags: <UP,DONE>
recvpipe sendpipe ssthresh rtt,msec mtu weight expire
0 0 0 0 1500 1 0
This is on stable/9.
In addition, if I run a ping on network and broadcast address
(ping 192.168.0.0; ping 192.168.0.255)
In Freebsd < 8, a new route was created and i can see it in
'netstat -rn -af inet'

Internet:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
192.168.0.0 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff UHLWb 1 1 em0 =>
192.168.0.255 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff UHLWb 1 1 em0 =>
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
But not in FreeBSD >= 8
So, why is the broadcast route not created in FreeBSD >= 8 ?
Apparently the route to 192.168.0.0/24 already covers both of them, so
there is no need anymore to add explicit ones. I have no idea why this
changed after 8.x, though.
