Right, 
	I know this is all my fault BUT I'd like some clarification from the
gurus out there.

I have just upgraded my 2.2.0pre6 machine to 2.2.3 :) ... I noticed that
during the init of the network card the kernel? adds a route to the
appropriate network.  Then my network config scripts come along and do the
same thing.

So my Route table looks like:

~$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
network addr    *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
network addr    *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default         gateway addr    0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0


I know this doesn't affect anthing.  I just want to know:
a) what is doing this (and why ??)
b) is there anyway to change it ???


Yours Tony.
