Did it work before? Did you change anything?
A guess:
Sounds like you upgraded your kernel to 2.2.x. The behavior of interface
configuration changed quite late in 2.2 development, and is different from
the 2.0 behavior.
In 2.0, adding an interface did not create a route to the network attached
to that interface. In 2.2 it does. The network scripts do not take this
into account and create the 'necessary' route even when it is not
necessary. Blame it on the rain or some other bad pop song.
You might look into the full RPM update set on the ftp site under
suse_update/SuSE-6.0/kernel. Or you could live with the doubled routes.
I don't think they have any serious ramifications.
Happy hacking.
