Hello,

Currently, if the network's netmask is 255.255.0.0 then the third octet
of the DHCP-assigned address will be 0 and this cannot be changed though
uci configuration. An alternative behavior given the current settings
would be to keep the first three octets of the router's IP address on
that same network irrespectively of the netmask. Then the third octet
would be the same as that of the router. This is more likely to be what
the user wants, but still not necessarily.

Thus, I propose extending the start configuration parameter to more
octets. This would require a changing the init script of dnsmasq and the
gui's but I think it is worth having a more versatile uci configuration,
especially since dnsmasq itself does allow for it.

Criticism and alternative ideas are welcome.

Regards,
