Description Florian Effenberger 2004-02-02 11:01:31 UTC 
net-setup should propose senseful defaults

When I give 192.168.0.6 as IP address, it should propose

192.168.0.255 as broadcast (instead of .1.255)
192.168.0.254 as gateway
192.168.0.254 as DNS

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Well, I've made the broadcast setup sensible defaults with the 1.0.4 version.  The gateway and DNS I am not doing, because the "default" is to have none.

Thanks for the submission.

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
