[ale] routing and networking

[Tri]

Here's more info about the situation

Here is what I get from netstat -nr:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt
Iface
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U                0 0
0  eth0

Here's what I get from ifconfig eth0:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:A0:CC:3B:22:5E
          inet addr:192.168.1.1  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          Collisions:0
          Interrupt:10 Base address:0xb000

And this might help also, this is my init network script under debian 2.1:

#! /bin/sh
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0 lo
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

I know the route command for eth0 is missing, but the kernel sets one up
automatically.
