      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      java version "1.7.0_02"
      Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_02-b13)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 22.0-b10, mixed mode, sharing)

      ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
      Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]

      EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
      Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection:
         Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::223:14ff:fe69:c0b0%17
         IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.11.8

         Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.11.1

      (name:net6 (Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6200 AGN) in java)

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      InterfaceAddress.toString() for the wifi adapter gives:
      /192.168.11.8/-1 [/25.42.182.0]
      where the -1 is so wrong.

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      Take a Dell laptop with matching Wifi adapter and list interface addresses. I suppose this is not related to network config as it happens also with similar laptop in another wifi.


      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.
