I'm sure what he's trying to do is to do EXACTLY the same thing I'm
trying to do when I do it... Get the networking to work. The add route
at boot didn't work, because it got an SIOCADDRT also. I have three
RedHat machines (2 with ethernet), and ONE of the three does this.
A friend of mine said he thought he'd seen this and made it go away by
some (now-forgetten) combination of making modules into statically
loaded drivers. As for me, I can't say, as I don't have it fixed yet,
either! The machine it works with has the EtherExpress Pro driver
loaded, and the one that it fails for has an NE2000 clone card in it.
Help (I need it too!)
