routing problem solved

[Rick Hawkins <rhawkins@iastate.edu>]

OK, i've got it.  but i think this means i've found a bug, or at least
something that needs fixing.

Under the beta releases with 1.3.9x, the following file is created:

#!      /bin/sh
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add 127.0.0.1
IPADDR=129.186.31.38
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=129.186.31.38
BROADCAST=129.186.31.255
GATEWAY=129.186.31.254
ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
route add -net ${NETWORK}
route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1

these last two lines simply aren't working with the variable names.  I
added 

route add -net 129.186.31.0
route add -net default gw 129.186.31.254 metric 1

explicitly naming the devices, and it works fine.

Also, the original file continues to work under the old kernel; this
seems to be a difference between the kernels.

SO who do i report this to?
