Title:
  Incorrect broadcast address set for subnet

Status in “netcfg” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The default static IP Address installer got the broadcast address
  incorrect.

  I use 10.200.200.0/24 internally. Broadcast Address was set to 10.255.255.255.
  Other network parameters were ok.

  Fix was to manually modify /etc/network/interfaces and add a broadcast line to
  the eth0 interface:

  iface eth0 inet static
          address 10.200.200.12
          netmask 255.255.255.0
          gateway 10.200.200.1
          broadcast 10.200.200.255

  Restart networking all was fine.
