Something has changed in 1.3.99 regarding ifconfig and route.
Firstly, using ifconfig on an interface appears to install a route on that interface - I think this is new.
Secondly, specifying a device on a route command seems to fail if it the route is through a local interface.
What this comes to is that it is a little difficult to manage things on machines with two (or more) interfaces on one ip address (in my case, the main ethernet, a second one bridging to an expermental box, and a ppp link).
I am using net-tools-1.3.50-BETA6f, which I believe to be the latest, recompiled on this kernel as well.
What gives?
David
