default route

[Nick H. - Network Operations]

I had the same problem under 5.1-RELEASE-p6 and it appears that in the
couple of hours of building and coming to work they had released -p7.  You
may wanna try upgrading your sources and see what that brings about.  in
the -p7 update there was an update performed on if_ether.c (as well as the
openssh fixes).  Just my $0.02.

: everything came up and seemed to start fine.  i then noticed squid
: couldn't reach the 'net -- and neither could anything else.  it appears
: the default route wasn't added after the reboot (`netstat -rn|grep

: defaultrouter="my.gw.ip.addr"

: which didn't change during the upgrade.  nothing in UPDATING wrt route or
: other oddities.  did i miss something, or did this only happen on my box?
