There are a number of bugs in the routing code which cause panics when a gateway is not supplied for a route. The supported way to express what you have written here is: route add -inet 198.53.215.253 ip-address-of-sl0 `-link sl0' doesn't make much sense as a destination. Perhaps you meant to say: route add -inet 198.53.215.253 -interface ip-address-of-sl0 which would mean that the other end of sl0 has an alias address. In any case, you are correct that this is a bug; the kernel should not panic even upon erroneous routing commands. -GAWollman
