Hello, 

I´m having a routing problem. This has happened after an upgrade 
from 2.1 to stable.

The interface is configured by "ifconfig ed0 10.10.10.2 netmask
0xfffffff0".

The default router is 10.10.10.1.

# netstat -rn | grep '10.10.10.1'
default          10.10.10.1       UGSc       67     6037       ed0
10.10.10.1       0:0:c:47:4f:ec   UHLW       33        0       ed0   1199

Sometimes, the ethernet address to my router (10.10.10.1) gets changed to 
"link#1". This makes everything stop working:

# netstat -rn | grep '10.10.10.1'
default          10.10.10.1       UGSc       68     6034       ed0
10.10.10.1       link#1           UHRLW      20       14       ed0     10

After some time -that can be as long as 1 hour- the original route returns 
and everything works again.

Could someone explain where that "link#1" route come from, please?
