1 I keep getting this Class B subnet 169.254.0.0 in my routing table on my
2 laptop and I'm not sure why this is happening (for some months now).

13 Does it matter? I just don't want to have things configured without
14 understanding why they are so, especially when this is not a MSWindows
15 machine to use by design an APIPA scheme. Should I do anything about it?
