Take a look at the URL, it's about all the glorious new features of Linux 2.2. Ever since I started using Linux 2.2, I have been trying to figure out how to configure all the new, advanced routing options that it has, and finally I find out the problem, I need to be using the new 'ip' replacement for 'route'/'ifconfig'... Seems like something that should be included in RawHide. It's available at: ftp://ftp.inr.ac.ru/ip-routing/iproute2-2.2.4-now- ss990630.tar.gz :(which I just compiled on my machine, and seems to be working fine).
Fixed in iproute-2.2.4-1.
