Hi,
Recently I noticed that my Bcast address isn't correctly calculated when
I use a 10.xxx.xxx.xxx range. For some reason it works for public IPs.
Also I found another bug report: #87784 which discusses the same
problem. And it should be solved in package number 1.60-4. But it still
has the same problem:
cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.200.196.123
netmask 255.255.255.224
gateway 10.200.196.126
Which gives me the following interface configuration :
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:03:47:B1:15:E1
inet addr:10.200.196.123 Bcast:10.255.255.255
Mask:255.255.255.224
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
the Bcast address is incorrect. it should be calculated to 10.200.196.127.
If you need any more information, please let me know

Following #87784 and #122792, I'm closing this bug because it's not
reproducible even on etch systems, I can reproduce it on sarge, though.
On Sarge:
# ifconfig dummy0 128.42.162.116 netmask 255.255.255.0
# ifconfig dummy0 | head -n2
dummy0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr C2:C5:EF:F4:92:1A
inet addr:128.42.162.116 Bcast:128.42.255.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
# dpkg -s net-tools | grep ^Version:
Version: 1.60-10
On Etch and newer systems:
# ifconfig dummy0 128.42.162.116 netmask 255.255.255.0
# ifconfig dummy0 | head -n2
dummy0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 3A:B1:38:29:F1:FE
inet addr:128.42.162.116 Bcast:128.42.162.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
# dpkg -s net-tools | grep ^Version:
Version: 1.60-17
