> Do I need networking setup before I can setup 'route' ? You need to have the NICs bound to an ethernet device for route to work. Generally, ifconfig should show you whether or not a NIC is noticed by the kernel. You said that you insmod'ed them - did you receive any report that this may have not worked while doing it? sockios.h: /* Routing table calls. */ #define SIOCADDRT 0x890B /* add routing table entry */ #define SIOCDELRT 0x890C /* delete routing table entry */ #define SIOCRTMSG 0x890D /* call to routing system */ The SIOCADDRT is what operation is reporting the error. When you do an ifconfig eth0, do you see anything?
