#5 Illegal netmask may be assigned to interface

[Alexander Kelner]

ifconfig eth0 1.0.0.1 255.255.205.0 works

[Alexander Kelner]

Check algorithm may looks something like this:

m1=~0
ok=false
for (i=1; i==33; i++) {
ok=ok || (m1 == m)
m1=m1<<1
}

[Alexander Kelner]

The command "route -add" also allows to use illegal mask

Fixed in v. 035
