System: NetBSD orchard.medford.ma.us NetBSD 0.9B NetBSD 0.9B (ORCHARD) #0: Wed May 18 13:27:51 EDT 1994 sommerfeld@orchard.medford.ma.us:/u1/nsys/sys/arch/i386/compile/ORCHARD i386


>Description:
	with -current as of May 18, using the "broadcast" keyword for
	ifconfig on the sl0 interface clobbers the destination address.

	netstart won't let you use "extras" if you don't have a
	broadcast address.

>How-To-Repeat:
	cat > /etc/hostname.sl << EOF
	inet <addr> <mask> <bcast> link0 link1
	dest <dest>
	EOF
	/etc/netstart
	ifconfig sl0

	note that the "dest" address of sl0 is set to the all-1's
	subnet broadcast address

>Fix:
	Apply following change to /etc/netstart to allow the use of
"NONE" in the bcaddr column as a placebo.  You may want to do the
same for the netmask.
