system-config-network refused to let me set the subnet mask and bcast
address correctly.  I tried several times and even exited and
restarted.  I finally just emacs-ed
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and then did a service
restart networking.  I'm not sure what was up with
system-config-networking messing up the netmask like that.
