Ok here is my problem, I am unable to set the default route and gateway:

----- ziig etc # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart
-----  * Unmounting network filesystems ...
-----  * samba -> stop: smbd ...
-----  * samba -> stop: nmbd ...
-----  * Stopping sshd ...
-----  * Stopping eth0
-----  *   Bringing down eth0
-----  *     Shutting down eth0 ...
-----  * Starting eth0
-----  *   Bringing up eth0
-----  *     dhcp
-----  *       Running dhcpcd ...
-----  *     Trying fallback configuration
-----  *     192.168.4.128
-----  *   Adding routes
-----  *     default ...
-----  *     via ...
----- gw: Unknown host
-----  *     192.168.4.1 ...
----- SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument
-----  * Mounting network filesystems ...
-----  * samba -> start: smbd ...
-----  * samba -> start: nmbd ...
-----  * Starting sshd ...

Here is the result of ifconfig:

----- ziig / # ifconfig
----- eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:03:0D:19:93:5D
-----           inet addr:192.168.4.128  Bcast:192.168.4.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

----- ziig / #

Okay I tried the following:

----- ziig conf.d # route add 192.168.4.1
----- SIOCADDRT: No such device

This however did not give an error:

----- ziig conf.d # route add 192.168.4.1 gw 192.168.4.1

I can quite happily ping 192.168.4.1. Any ideas?
