CA broadcast problems on Solaris 2.6?

[Dave Barker <barker@acrux.ligo.caltech.edu>]

I'm getting the following problems when running MEDM on my
solaris 2.6 machines:

CA.Client.Diagnostic..............................................
    Message: "No internet interface with broadcast available"
    Severity: "Warning" Context: "caAdd : ca_build_and_connect failed
"
    Source File: ../medmCA.c Line Number: 680
..................................................................

but when I ifconfig -a, I get:

lo0: flags=849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 8232
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
hme0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 206.61.208.109 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 206.61.208.255

the broadcast address is set correctly for a Class C network. I have
seen this problem
on all types of Solaris 2.6 machines (E2 and Ultra30).

Can anyone help with this?

thanks,

Dave Barker.
