I agree with this and i would prefer them here as well however about 
6 months ago i had a problem where the routes would not apply when 
the card was up and neither i nor anyone on the list at the time 
could figure out why.  Some kind soul offered me the bootmisc.sh 
advice which worked at the time and got me out of a bind.

Your question appeared to be of simmilar concern so in the true 
spirit i shared the knowledge. :)

if you look for the thread in the archives about 6-12 months ago, it 
should answer some more of your queries.

regards
