Checked. You are right, but the BROADCAST parameters is never used
in muLinux network script!

The mechanism of saving/restoring this files works with many malfuntions.
All this problem are generated by the delayed nature of DHCP setup:
some task is demanded to /usr/bin/ethconfig. ethconfig work fine only
when called the first time. Better thing is to remove /etc/eth.conf first
to do a new "setup eth".
Managing this parameter with a script when a DHCP response is involved
is a problem. ppp.fun also write this file, asyncronously ...
I can see also this bug: resolv.conf is saved by eth.fun [ store() function ]
but never restored :( This means: your direct changes to this file are
ineffective, as far Setup environment is concerned.
You guess it: restoring is a big problem if I can't know when/if an user
touched the file with own hands.
