Package: net-tools
Version: 1.60-10
Severity: normal

With a 2.4 kernel, the route command works as described by its man page.
With a 2.6 kernel, any form of "route add -net" or "route add -host" other than 
"route add -net default" produces an error message

"SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument"

In at least some cases, entering one or more static routes and getting
the error message, followed by entering a default route, will cause all
the routes to come up and start working.

This was tested on Debian Sarge and Libranet 3.0.  Platforms are Pentium
1, Pentium 2, and dual Athlon MP.
