If that matters.  (I think I've had this problem with my wifi & this router
for a few kernel revisions.)


Also, when I have the 'destination' problem when pinging, I see the following
when I do a "route -n".  What's this about?

  Kernel IP routing table
  Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
  192.168.2.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
  169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     1000   0        0 eth1
  0.0.0.0         192.168.2.1     0.0.0.0         UG    100    0        0 eth1

One day I think I figured out how to take out that 169.254... destination,
but sadly did not record the steps.  (They were probably relatively random.
I spent most of my time trying to get WORK DONE on my computer, and not
administrate around things that break randomly.  Am I whining too much?
Just don't ask me what I think of sound in Linux right now. ;) )

-bill!
