In the 2.1.x kernels, the network code automagically adds standard routes
when you bring up a network interface, so neither of
route add -net 127.0.0.0
route add -net ${NETWORK}
are necessary. They don't really cause any problem other than the error
message, but can be safely left out. You still need to add the default
route however.
