[Twisted-Python] udp broadcast question

[Gaspard, Bradley S]

I found a udp broadcast example (below) which works fine for my wired
ethernet interface but I would like to be able to specify my wireless
interface (ath0) for the udp broadcast. How can this be done?

Thanks for trying to help. But really this is very incomplete, missing 
all read or write calls to the socket.
And I've tried, with just that SO_BROADCAST option I do not receive the 
stuff I send, and in fact with just that option, I can't even send.

But thanks for the pointer to twisted.
