[Bug 1965942] [NEW] Netmask should be replaced by Prefix?
Public bug reported:
I am using Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
The page on this subject "Create a connection with a fixed IP address"
for 20.04 mentions in para 5. "Type in the IP Address and Gateway, as
well as the appropriate Netmask." I wanted to do this so that I can
provide a fixed IPv6 address for one of my computers.
The link to the documentation page is
https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/ubuntu-help/net-fixed-ip-address.html.en
Netmask, which is not shown on the relevant part of the Ubuntu 20.04
Settings page, but there is a box headed "Prefix". Should this replace
the reference to Netmask?
** Affects: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu)
