Description Fabrice Verrac 2016-01-06 19:56:29 UTC 
Using ifconfig <dev> 10.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.240 
ends in broadcast address 10.255.255.255 instead of 10.1.1.15.
The same ~erroneous~ behaviour was fixed in net-tools: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=186208
Comment 1 Denys Vlasenko 2017-04-05 21:27:56 UTC 
Can't reproduce on current git.
