[ECOS] freeBSD sets wrong netmask for non-ABC class IP addresses

[Lambrecht Jürgen]

To re-phrase my question:

is CIDR (classless inter-domain routing) supported by the eCos FreeBSD 
stack?
In my experience it is *not*, because we use both /13 and /5 networks 
and both are not fully functional !
So howto enable CIDR in eCos?

Kind regards,
Jürgen
