I've been Googling and playing around a bit. I have the main ADSL
connection to the world working via iproute2, but not the 169.254.0.0/16
net. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. My setup...
* desktop PC 192.168.123.251/29, with NIC interface eth0
* HDHomerun network TV tuner in 169.254.0.0/16
Both are attached to an ADSL router at 192.168.123.254 I start off
with "/etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop" to get to a known state. Then I run a
script which issues the commands...
ip link set eth0 down
ip link set eth0 up
ip address add 192.168.123.251/29 dev eth0
ip route add default via 192.168.123.254 metric 100
ip address add 169.254.1.1/16 dev eth0
ip route add 169.254.0.0/16 via 192.168.123.254 metric 0
ip address show
ip route show
The output from the commands is...

Like I said above, the default route to the world works, but not to
169.254.0.0. Once I get that figured out, the next questions are...
1) What is the setup in /etc/conf.d/net to accomplish that?
2) Should iproute2 be built with or without the "iptables" flag?
