This was renamed to net mask in a previous version of the app.
Looking at the code (item_system.py)
if not self.interfaces.has_key(name):
self.interfaces[name] = {
"mac_address" : "",
"mtu" : "",
"ip_address" : "",
"dhcp_tag" : "",
"subnet" : "", # deprecated
"netmask" : "",
The net mask line needs to be deleted here -- we shouldn't be adding the old
field back when making new objects.
5000 imaginary Cobbler points if someone would like to remove it and test that
everything's still cool.
