>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT i386
>Environment:

	Nothing special beyond the Release.

>Description:

	The kernel will not allow the execution of a manual
	addition of a route to a link-level gateway.  The kernel
	locks up indefinitely.  The exact same route can be manually
	added to BSDI and NetBSD.

>How-To-Repeat:

	type: route add -iface 255.255.255.255 -link ed0:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

	(Any other route to a link-level gateway has the same effect-I need
	this strange route to do a dhcp implementation. I
	walked through the route utility and it generates the correct
	routing socket message.)

>Fix:
