[ECOS] how does ecos build its routing tables?

[Lambrecht Jürgen <J dot Lambrecht at TELEVIC dot com>]

Hello,

We cannot set our routing tables correct!
We use the freeBSD network stack.

We configure it with a fixed IP adress (172.24.0.0/13) with netmask 
255.248.0.0.
But always in the routing table the netmaskk 255.255.0.0 is present??
How is this possible?

Here the result of a print of the routing tables (I use functions that 
you can find back on the ecos mailing list):

Televic telnet shell. Welcome.

$> ifconfig

Routing tables

lo0     IP: 127.0.0.1, Broadcast: 127.0.0.1, Netmask: 255.0.0.0
         UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MULTICAST MTU: 16384, Metric: 0
         Rx - Packets: 0, Bytes: 0, Tx - Packets: 0, Bytes: 0
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Our RedBoot uses the 255.255.0.0 netmask, could that explain it?

And when we add the correct route and then delete the wrong route, our 
network connection goes away - a ping fails..

Any help is appreciated!

Kind regards,
Jürgen
