How the net init script works (there's really only one, generally net.*
is linked to net.lo for update simplicity) is configured
in /etc/conf.d/net. /etc/conf.d/net.example holds examples for just
about every imaginable configuration, but from my net, iproute2 looks
something like:
modules=("iproute2");
config_eth0=( "192.168.1.87/24 brd 192.168.1.255");
routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.1.1" );
config_eth1=( "192.168.1.88/24 brd 192.168.1.255" );
but as you can see, that still doesn't set up a netmask but uses the
default. I agree that in both cases the default would be /8 for a
10.xxx network, but as you can see the config syntax is different for
iproute2 and ifconfig.
