Yes, sorry.. I accidentally deleted that part of the message.
Here's the broken box:
pn0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 209.54.21.233 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 209.54.21.255
ether 00:a0:cc:3b:66:51
media: 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex>
supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX
<half-duplex> 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP
<half-duplex>
And here's a working one:
ep0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 209.54.21.199 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 209.54.21.255
ether 00:60:97:a3:63:e6
The 255.255.255.0 netmask is correct here, despite the router being at
.129.
