Re: Addressing scheme changed after ns-2.1b5a?

[Nader Salehi <salehi@isi.edu>]

Yes they are correct.  In the new addressing scheme, we had to disable
shifting and masking for the flat addressing that's why shift is 0 and
mask is 0x7fffffff.  Not the most elegant solution, but we have to
live with it since we need the shift and mask variables for
hierarchical addressing.
