Would someone please remind me how to get CA to perform the broadcast on
a linux 2.6 kernel. We had to set EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST to get get the CA
clients to work. I thought this was discussed on tech-talks but I can't
find the correct entry.

There's nothing unique about the Linux 2.6 kernel series, we've been
using it for ages (I'm currently on 2.6.14-1.1656_FC4, Fedora Core 4)
with no special settings.
There must be something else funny in your configuration - do your IOC's
broadcast addresses match those of the Linux system? (run ifShow on vx
and /sbin/ifConfig -a on linux)
