I need to set the subnet mask under an embedded OS that uses the
4.3 BSD sockets API.  The OS vendor cannot supply us with an
example of how to do this.  If anyone has a code sample, it would
be greatly appreciated.  What we need to know is where to insert
the new subnet mask in the ifreq structure passed to the ioctl()
call.

	Thanks.
