Does your system have the 'ip' command? Mine doesn't (kernel 2.0.29,
Slackware 3.2) and the commands being created to run 'ifconfig' and 'route'
for my version of Linux are incorrect. One of the problem I had was that a
default route would be created, then deleted by the existing setup. Attached
to this message is a patch that I applied to the file route.c in the source
before compiling that has fixed all the problems. To apply it use:
patch route.c < route.patch
in the diald-0.98.2 directory. Give it a try if you wish and see if it
corrects your problem. Make sure you save a copy of the original route.c in
case it doesn't work!
