Bug#416378: etch-installer suggests wrong gateway address (outside the net) if netmask is different from /24
Package: installation-reports
Version: etch-install CD from 22.03.2007
If you install etch and your computer is for example in a 10.0.0.64/26 network you enter the following:
IP: 10.0.0.66
Netmask: 255.255.255.192
Then the debian installer suggests the following gateway address:
Gateway 10.0.0.1
which is outside the network.
The installer should check for the first address in the network and use this as recommendation.
This error occurs with the debian-etch install CD1 from 22 March 2007
