Yeah, I read that in the Changes file in the kernel source but when I
removed the route lines for my network card I had Samba problems.
Mainly my Win95 clients couldn't connect at all. As soon as I put the
route statements back in everything was working(by the way I do not get
any SIOCADDRT errors). However, I am running slink with Samba
1.9.18p10-7. Maybe Samba has to be recompiled against the new kernel
headers.
