2.2.x kernels (and in fact all kernels since about 2.1.92 (I forget the
exact revision)) automatically set "localnet" routes, so if you have
three network cards, 4 localnet routes will automatically be added to
the routing table (3 cards + loopback). All other routes (including the
default route!) have to be added manually (usually via a `route' command
in /etc/init.d/network).
