I turned a machine back on after a week and it no longer
supped correctly. I finally tracked it down to an incorrect
netmask (255.255.0.0). I wasn't explicitly specifying one.
Maybe something changed in the sources?
Now my /etc/ifconfig.le0 looks like:
foo.bar.edu.au up netmask 255.255.255.0
Kernel netmask defaults have been a particular problem for me.
I still don't know why the kernel defaults to 255.255.0.0 during
netboot.
