That's *EXACTLY* what I was doing originally. See my post from |
| 12 |
February 21st where I started this thread |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
config_eth0=" |
| 15 |
192.168.123.251/29 broadcast 192.168.123.255 |
| 16 |
169.254.1.1/16 broadcast 169.254.255.255" |
| 17 |
routes_eth0=" |
| 18 |
default via 192.168.123.254 metric 20 |
| 19 |
192.168.123.248/29 via 192.168.123.254 metric 0 |
| 20 |
169.254.0.0/16 via 169.254.1.1 metric 0" |
| 21 |
|

Note that the "redundant route" is to allow my PC to talk to other |
| 23 |
machines on my little LAN when using a dialup connection as emergency |
| 24 |
backup. |

* It worked under ifconfig before iproute2 showed up |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
* It stopped working when iproute2 became the default |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
* It started working again when I turned off iproute2 with the line |
| 31 |
modules=( "!iproute2" ) |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Like I said in my original message, it worked under ifconfig, but |
| 34 |
failed under iproute2. |
