You might check your version of net-tools and make sure that you have
the latest one. You can check http://linuxhq.com for what patch level of
net-tools is required for the latest 2.1 kernels. I used 1.45 and it
seemed to understand the new proc entries. I believe you can find the
latest version at ftp://ftp.inka.de/pub/comp/Linux/networking/NetTools/
. As for your routing problem it seems that in the latest releases of
2.1 that a route is automatically created when you run ifconfig. I just
delete the route if I don't need it or change rc.inet1 so that I don't
add another after the fact.
