Error while booting: SIOCADDRT: File Exists
I have a Toshiba laptop with two nics built in, one 100mb ethernet plug, one wireless. I do not use the wireless nic. When my laptop boots I get the "Starting Network" message then a [FAIL] with a "SIOCADDRT:: File Exists" error, however, the network starts and works fine. How can I go about clearing this error message?
Thanks.

Re: Error while booting: SIOCADDRT: File Exists
SIOCADDRT = Socket I/O Control Address Route F<something>.
Give that it tells you a file exist, I take it 'a file' means that there's some kind of route in place. Check if you have any routes defined in /etc/rc.conf or if any odd routes are defined in /proc/net/routes

Have recently installed Arch and the OS is just great. Also experience the same error message although network works fine.
Appreciate any help :!:

Re: Error while booting: SIOCADDRT: File Exists
One Solution
In /etc/rc.conf, change the line:
ROUTES=(gateway)to
ROUTES=(!gateway)unless you need this route defined for some reason.
