That's because your using the old /etc/init.d/network file, what you can
do is edit that file and comment:

#route add -net 127.0.0.0
#route add -net 192.168.0.0

or whatever your network numbers are, the idea is, 2.2 kernels do this
them selfs.

In Debian 2.2 there is a new file:
/etc/network/interfaces which is the new way, just look in the docs of I
think netbase (/usr/share/doc/netbase).

Hope this helps.
