Dear Michael,

[kjkoster@saffron ~]$ ifconfig bge0
bge0: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu =
1500
	=
options=3D8009b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,LINKSTAT=
E>
	ether 00:e0:81:32:ed:b4
	inet 91.196.169.165 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 91.196.169.167
	inet 91.196.169.166 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 91.196.169.166
	media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX =
<full-duplex,flowcontrol,rxpause,txpause>)
	status: active
[kjkoster@saffron ~]$ fgrep bge0 /etc/rc.conf=20
ifconfig_bge0=3D"inet 91.196.169.165 netmask 255.255.255.248"
ifconfig_bge0_alias0=3D"91.196.169.166 netmask 255.255.255.255"

That broadcast address and netmask look wrong for sure.

Should I just change that to 255.255.255.248 as well?

Kees Jan

I hate unit tests; I much prefer the illusion that there are no errors =
in my code.
