2.1.15 vs. "route"

Ok. What happened? Or was I asleep at the switch when someone said
I needed to upgrade my network utilities? :-(

/sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0

produces

route forgot to specify route netmask.
SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument

Just for grins, I try

/sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0

and get

SIOCADDRT: No such device

So I try

/sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 dev lo

and get no complaints, but none of "netstat -rn", "route", or
"cat /proc/net/route" say that a route was actually added.

IPv6 is *not* configured in my 2.1.X kernels.

Back to 2.1.14 until I figure out what's going on here...
