Re: SIOCADDRT

I had the same problem upgrading from kernel 2.0.x to 2.2.13:

SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument

I solved the SIOCADDRT error message updating the
/etc/init.d/network script. Just to be safe I installed also the
netbase_3.12-2 package for Slink
(http://www.debian.org/~rcw/2.2/warnings.html).
BTW, just to be pedantic, the loopback interface is supposed to
be on a class A network, so the netmask should be 255.0.0.0 and
the command is:

  ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
  route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo

I wonder if kernel 2.2.x does not require loopback setted
properly anymore...
