Use the broadcast address of the specific interface instead.
"ifconfig <INTERFACE" will tell you what it is:

tron@lyssa:~>ifconfig wm0
wm0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
[...]
        inet 192.168.25.4 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.25.255
                                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
