2.0.34

[Hamish Moffatt <hamish@debian.org>]

I just upgraded a Debian 1.3 (bo) machine to 2.0.34, and when I do

ifconfig eth0 203.14.18.1 netmask 203.14.18.128 broadcast 203.14.18.127

(in /etc/init.d/network), I get

SIOCSIFNETMASK: Invalid argument

then ifconfig reports the mask is set to 255.255.255.0, which is wrong.
So I get wrong routes etc.

What is the fix -- is a new ifconfig required, or something else?

I can get it to accept
255.255.255.255
255.255.255.254
255.255.255.252
255.255.255.248
255.255.255.240
255.255.255.224
255.255.255.192

but not .128. It works on 2.0.32 and 2.0.32 though.
