The discover script should be able to recognize non-standard subnets.
(It surely depends on how many devices answer ICMP mask requests
correctly.)
However, you can run the IP discover script only on class A, B or C
like subnets, but I don't think this is a serious limitation. There
should be no problems with the other scripts as they usually work on
the list of selected hosts (and hence there is no need to do anything
special based on the netmask).
If you run into problems, please let us know or even better send us
a patch so we can get it right.
