this message is most probably caused by code in if_spppsubr.c which tries=

to update the route entries whenever the IP address of an interface chang=
es.
IIRC it gets called unconditionally. If you do a "route add default" e.g.=

in /etc/rc.isdn then the code in if_spppsubr.c will try to change the IF
route when you ifconfig the interface and cause a clash.

Take a look at the code. That's what it's there for.
