Synopsis: Cannot assign a IP address to a interface when a route to the same subnet exists in the routing table

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: ru
State-Changed-When: Wed Jun 6 01:35:05 PDT 2001
State-Changed-Why: 
This is the correct behavior.

First, the IP address still gets assigned to the interface.
It is the so-called "interface" route that can't be installed
because the route to the same destination/netmask already
exists in the routing table (whether static or not).

Either delete this route before running ifconfig(8), or
use a different netmask value.
