I assume you're running with a 2.2.x kernel? If so, you just need to
add "netmask ???.???.???.???" to the "route add -net" command. The
2.0.x kernel series would supply it's own default value if none was
specifically given, but in 2.2.x that is no longer the case.
Also, the kernel will now automatically generate a network-route when
you ifconfig the interface (the loopback device seems to be an
exception), so you may be able to remove the route commands entirely.
