If a PM2e30 is upgraded to ComOs 3.5, rebooted, ifconfig'd with a /27
netmask, save all, reboot, which is true (given that:

1. the portmaster operates correctly using the /27 netmask on ether0
2. the portmaster operates using the /24 netmask displayed by ifconfig

ts03> ifconfig ether0 address 205.229.106.18 netmask 255.255.255.224
ether0: flags=16<IP_UP,IPX_DOWN,BROADCAST>
inet 205.229.106.18 netmask ffffffe0 broadcast 205.229.106.31 mtu 1500

after a save all, reboot ---

ts03> ifconfig
ether0: flags=16<IP_UP,IPX_DOWN,BROADCAST>
inet 205.229.106.18 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 205.229.106.255 mtu
1500

ts03> show table netmask
