Description of problem:
ifup-routes adds routes from both eth0.route and route-eth0 and
ignores the "old format" file /etc/sysconfig/static-routes

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.run neat, add a static route
2.run ifup-routes eth0
3.see errors
	

Actual Results:  RTNETLINK answers: File exists


Additional info:

I used "neat" to add some static routes.
Neat created two files of interest:
  /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/eth0.route
  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0
Both of these files contain the information about the static routes
that I want to establish, but they are in different formats.

When ifup-routes is run, it first tests to see if
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/eth0.route exists.  If it doesn't,
ifup-routes exits.  If it does, ifup-routes then uses this file to
add the desired routes.  It then (according to the comments) uses
the "old style" file in route-eth0 to attempt to add the same routes
again.

There are two problems with this.  First is that it should use one
or the other of these files (or neat should only create one or the
other).  I think ifup-routes should check to see if the "new" format
file exists and use it if it exists.  The second problem with
shows up if the eth0.route file doesn't exist.  In this case, I think
ifup-routes should use the old format that used to be in
/etc/sysconfig/static-routes so that it will be backwards compatible
with RH7.3.
