192.168.130.54 is indeed my host.
However:
# route add -host 192.168.130.54 netmask 255.255.255.252 gw 192.168.130.53
route: netmask 00000003 doesn't make sense with host route
Usage: route [-nNvee] [-FC] [Address_families] List kernel routing tables
route {-V|--version} Display command version and exit.
route {-h|--help} [Address_family] Usage Syntax for specified AF.
route [-v] [-FC] {add|del|flush} ... Modify routing table for AF.

specify AF: -A af1,af2.. or --af1 --af2 or af_route
#
The script ifup-routes contains:
grep "^$1 " /etc/sysconfig/static-routes | while read device args; do
/sbin/route add -$args $device
done
and static-routes contains:
eth0 net 192.168.130.54 netmask 255.255.255.252 gw 192.168.130.53
One minor detail is that apart for those spurious messages at boot
time... it works.

So what is my network address, given that 54 is my host, 53 my
gateway, 55 the broadcast, and supposing the netmask is OK?
I guess 52...
This seems to be OK. Now, I need to reboot!
Thanks for your help, and thanks to everybody else who kindly answered
my mails!
