Hi.<br>
<br>
I have connected my new Nokia N810 to my local wi-fi network.<br>
<br>
It is mostly working fine except that it appears to have installed a<br>
spurious route whish is effectively blackholing some traffic.<br>
<br>
Details:<br>
I have the N810 configured to use a static IP address for my local<br>
wireless (wi-fi) network. For the sake of argument let us say this is<br>
<a href="http://11.12.13.249" target="_blank">11.12.13.249</a> with a netmask of <a href="http://255.255.255.240" target="_blank">255.255.255.240</a>. The gateway for this<br>
network is <a href="http://11.12.13.241" target="_blank">11.12.13.241</a>.<br>
<br>
The connectivity mechanism correctly generates a default route via<br>
<a href="http://11.12.13.241" target="_blank">11.12.13.241</a> for the wlan interface.<br>
However it also generates another route to <a href="http://11.0.0.0" target="_blank">11.0.0.0</a> with netmask <a href="http://255.0.0.0" target="_blank">255.0.0.0</a>.<br>
<br>
Consequently all packets to addresses 11.x.y.z apart for the local<br>
network are effectively blackholed.<br>
<br>
The routing table is (anonymized) ..<br>
Kernel IP routing table<br>
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use<br>
Iface<br>
<a href="http://11.0.0.0" target="_blank">11.0.0.0</a> * <a href="http://255.0.0.0" target="_blank">255.0.0.0</a> U 0 0 0<br>
wlan0<br>
default router.exampl.c <a href="http://0.0.0.0" target="_blank">0.0.0.0</a> UG 0 0 0<br>
wlan0<br>
<br>
This is clearly incorrect as the local network is not a /8.<br>
<br>
Is this a bug in the udhcpc postconfig script when used woth a static<br>
address? I can't actually find this script to check.<br>
<br>
Any help would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
