No problem. Your English is much better than my Japanese.

This is good. However, there is still one more problem with the file as
it exists. If a default_router exists, it will not be used because of
the following lines.
# Add default route into $static_routes
case ${defaultrouter} in
[Nn][Oo] | '')
;;
*)
static_routes="default ${static_routes}"
route_default="default ${defaultrouter}"
;;
esac
However, I'm not sure what the purpose of adding 'default' to
static_routes is, and unfortunately 'route_default' is not used anywhere
in the file.
Can you explain what is intended here?
Thanks!
Nate
ps. The below patch is good, although it may be necessary to do a route
flush in certain cases.
