Yes, it is the case that the interval flag has been set.  It seems that
the interval flag necessary when the set shall contain a mixture of
single IPv4 addresses and subnets with elements:

	"Error: You must add 'flags interval' to your
	 set declaration if you want to add prefix elements"

and with auto-merge:

	"Error: auto-merge only works with interval sets"

It is necessary to have auto-merge since the individual IPv4 addresses
and subnets get added in an unpredictable manner and may overlap.

Without Lars' set declaration, the question is incomplete and it is
not easy to answer.

The following is basically the set up:

table ip foo {
        set bar {
                type ipv4_addr
                flags interval
                auto-merge
                elements = { 192.168.2.0/24 }
        }
	chain input {}
}

The two important parts to retain are auto-merge and pre-defined
elements (and be able to add to the elements later).
