After the upgrade, the machine will come up but quickly it will lose it's default route. The only way I can keep it from dropping the default route now is to continuously ping across it. If I stop for more than about 15 seconds, it'll get removed from the netstat -rn results. I don't mind researching possible means to fix it, but it's kinda hard when you have to hammer someone else's IP with pings to keep the link up or type "route add default xx.xxx.xxx.xx" every 15 seconds in order to surf... Are there any ways I can nail a route up without giving FreeBSD the ability to back it out automagically so I can fix this long enough to fix it the right way?
