Okay - this is starting to make more sense to me now:

	priv->dev->broadcast[8] = priv->pkey >> 8;
	priv->dev->broadcast[9] = priv->pkey & 0xff;

I assume that the broadcast address is well defined, and there's no issue 
reading it from there?  If so, then I think it's a simple change to addr.c to 
extract it.
