From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686) Gecko/20030530 Galeon/1.3.4 Description of problem: Since the version of redhat-config-network as shipped with version 9 is useless (all it does is crash), I decided to grab the rawhide version. It works fine, except it fails under the following scenario: eth0: Configured via DHCP to grab a real Internet IP. eth0:1 Fixed local IP: 192.168.1.66 netmask 255.255.255.192 I set up the following static route for eth0:1 Network: 192.168.1.0 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.1.65 That is, I want to access the rest of my 192.168.1.0/24 network via 192.168.1.65 . It works fine, the app doesn't crash, and even ifup-routes seems to assemble the ip command line OK (I know, because I added echo "$line" >> /some/log/file before /sbin/ip route add $line into the script). The command line becomes /sbin/ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 via 192.168.1.65 dev eth0:1 All seems well, right ? Wrong. The route that ends up being added to the table is equivalent to route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.1.0 dev eth0 instead of route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.65 dev eth0 When I try to duplicate the command line executed from the script, I get Cannot find device "eth0:1" ... not to mention that the route (even the wrong one) doesn't get added every time I perform ifup eth0 (It's a pcmcia card and this route only gets added if I perform (cardctl eject ; cardctl insert ;) . Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-network-1.3.1-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add a route as prescribed above to an IP alias as described above 2. Bring up the interface 3. Behold the wrong route in your routing table Actual Results: A default gateway was added despite my specifying a route to a single network. Expected Results: A static route to a particular network via a particular gateway. Additional info:
you should use version 1.2.14 from http://people.redhat.com/harald/redhat-config-network/
