Bug 7345, 7355, 7365, 7366 and 7386 all appear to be duplicates of this one. See Bug 7319 for my additional comments. Seriously though, there must have been a reason this was added. Does some software package (DHCP?) rely on a default route being present? |
With initscripts-4.68-1 the networking tries to attach a default route to EVERY network interface as it brings it up. The following patch appears to correct this, although I'm not sure whether this patch fixes the problem or hides it... ===8<=== CUT ===>8=== --- /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup~ Tue Nov 16 17:25:41 1999 +++ /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup Sun Nov 28 16:11:46 1999 @@ -130,8 +130,6 @@ if [ "${GATEWAY}" != "" ]; then route add default gw ${GATEWAY} ${DEVICE} DEFGW=${GATEWAY} - else - route add default ${DEVICE} fi fi fi ===8<=== CUT ===>8=== Any and all comments much appreciated...
