Eth0 detected in dmesg, but not by 'route add'

[tom schuetz <schuetz@mind.net>]

I'm trying to hook up via crossover cable to an NT box.

Got a realtek8019, properly configured, etc.

It's reported in dmesg, no problem.

I can ping the local host (*.*.*.1)
and the network (*.*.*.0) successfully.

I cannot ping the NT host (*.*.*.2)

When I do 'ROUTE ADD -NET [...anything]'

I get a message like:

SIOCADDF: Device not found.

I am confused, and would appreciate some advice.
