Insert the line
addroute /etc/diald-addroute
into diald.conf and put
--- snip ---
#!/bin/sh
# set up a default route for diald
# arguments: iface netmask local-ip remote-ip 0 0
export PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin
route add default dev $1
--- snap ---
into /etc/diald-addroute. This way, the addroute script gets called to set up your
default route.
