If you feel like using ssh to connect to the box, I would expect
        nvram show | grep -i mask
to show something like:

lan_netmask=255.255.255.0
wan_netmask=255.255.255.0


You should be able to change the mask
        nvram set lan_netmask=255.255.0.0
        nvram get lan_netmask
and check for typos!
        
        nvram commit
save to flash.

When you reboot, you should be in business.  

DISCLAIMER: I've only used ssh with the STOCK linksys install, OpenWRT,
and sveasoft.  If hyperWRT looks to have dramatically changed things
quit while you're ahead.
