Subject: Static network configuration bug?
Message-ID: <2011191931030.19570@stax.localdomain>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

Following the wiki for a static IP setup:

  https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Configure_Networking#IPv4_Static_Address_Configuration

It states the following for configuration:

  iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.150/24
        gateway 192.168.1.1

but this format of netmask does not cooperate:

  # service networking start
   * Starting networking ... *   lo ... [ ok ]
   *   eth0 ...ifup: don't have all variables for eth0/inet
   [ !! ]

I found I could specify full netmark; eg.

  iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.150
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.1.1

The same problem happens with IPv6 configuration, too. Is it the docs, or 
me that is wrong? This pattern repeats several times over in the doc.
