You need to have the NICs bound to an ethernet device for route to
work.
Generally, ifconfig should show you whether or not a NIC is noticed by
the kernel. You said that you insmod'ed them - did you receive any
report that this may have not worked while doing it?
sockios.h:
/* Routing table calls. */
#define SIOCADDRT 0x890B /* add routing table entry */
#define SIOCDELRT 0x890C /* delete routing table entry */
#define SIOCRTMSG 0x890D /* call to routing system */
The SIOCADDRT is what operation is reporting the error.
When you do an ifconfig eth0, do you see anything?
