Hi!
I have a PC running happily 2.0.36.
I tried 2.2.0, it compiled fine, but I can not connect to my
network any longer. I have upgraded to net-tools 1.49.

On 2.2.0 I can not reach anybody outside the network, while on
2.0.36 (with exactly the same init - simply rebooting into a different
kernel) everything works fine.

I have no clue where to look. Did something obvious change in the
network/routing initialisation?

One clue I got: 2.0.36 /proc/net/route gives

Iface Destination Gateway Flags RefCnt Use Metric Mask
MTU Window IRTT

eth0 0085BC83 00000000 01 0 1 0 00FFFFFF
1500 0 0

lo 0000007F 00000000 01 0 1 0 000000FF
3584 0 0

eth0 00000000 0185BC83 03 0 1 1 00000000
1500 0 0

which looks reasonable to me (what do I know?),
while 2.2.0 /proc/net/route gives
Iface Destination Gateway Flags RefCnt Use Metric Mask

eth0 00000000 0185BC83 0003 0 0 1 00000000

Paper bag time? What manual to read? This machine is an old, heavily patched
SuSE 4.4, so some prehistoric setup things might bite now.
