Let's forget about additional routes with different metrics, and try |
| 2 |
to get the simplest case working, and move forward from there. If I have |
| 3 |
/etc/conf.d/net as... |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
modules=( "!iproute2" ) |
| 6 |
config_eth0=" |
| 7 |
192.168.123.251/29 broadcast 192.168.123.255 |
| 8 |
169.254.1.1/16 broadcast 169.254.255.255" |
| 9 |
routes_eth0=" |
| 10 |
default via 192.168.123.254" |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
...and run "/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart", I can access the device on |
| 13 |
169.254.0.0/16. If I comment out the "modules=( "!iproute2" )" line and |
| 14 |
run "/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart", I can't access the device. The |
| 15 |
above is the minimal "net" file require for ifconfig. I want to be able |
| 16 |
to work this down the road when ifconfig goes away, and iproute2 becomes |
| 17 |
mandatory. |

I'm still trying to wrap my brain around how the ADSL router decides |
| 20 |
whether to look for 169.254.0.0/16 on the ethernet cable to the TV tuner |
| 21 |
rather than on the phone line going to my ISP, and then the world. |
