Thanks for the suggestion.  I went ahead and set, in network.conf,
the following variables that work in 2.9.4 and 2.9.8:

     IF1_NETMASK=255.255.255.0
  
     IF2_NETMASK-255.255.255.0

but it didn't make any difference.  I guess those variables are
not used and that IF1_IPADDR is not compared to IF1_NETWORK to
derive the NETMASK anyway.
