Interestingly, my unpatched Ubuntu 7.04 notebook would let me install routes for networks in 240/4, but would not let me configure an interface IP in 240/4.
although this is not linux-l@ , here is a hint for those who keep trying: # /sbin/ifconfig eth1 240.1.2.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 SIOCSIFADDR: Invalid argument SIOCSIFNETMASK: Cannot assign requested address SIOCGIFADDR: Cannot assign requested address SIOCSIFBROADCAST: Cannot assign requested address # /sbin/ip add add 240.1.2.3/24 dev eth1 # /sbin/ip add show eth1 3: eth1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000 link/ether 00:30:48:5d:0a:af brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 240.1.2.3/24 scope global eth1 Now using this IP with the binaries that are of the same vintage as ifconfig(), that's really a discussion for linux-l@ . -andreas -- Andreas Ott K6OTT andreas () naund org
