FreeBSD eskimo.tundraware.com 4.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #0: Sat Jun  2 19:50:27 CDT 2001     toor@eskimo.tundraware.com:/usr/s
rc/sys/compile/ESKIMO-4.3  i386
>Description:
Running a 3c509C in a non-routable address space being set up in
rc.conf as follows:

ifconfig_xl1="inet 192.168.0.254 netmask 0xfffff00"

This setup defaults to a broadcast address of 240.168.0.255 which
I believe is bogus - it should be 192.168.0.255 - this seems to
confuse programs like 'samba' that need broadcasting to work
correctly.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Use the following line in rc.conf:

ifconfig_xl1="inet 192.168.0.254 netmask 0xfffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
