 > I add a static link-level route with route(8), and when I look it up with 
 > netstat(8), the first octet of the ARP address is missing.  Once this routing 
 > table entry is in place, the destination becomes unreachable, and the "use" 
 > flag on the entry never increments.
 > >How-To-Repeat:
 > # route add -host 10.20.30.40 -link 0:a:b:c:d:e -iface fxp0 -static
 This is wrong: -iface does _not_ take an argument (fxp0 is interpretated
 as netmask here!). Also, a link address has to be specified
 with a leading separator if you do not specify an interface at the start
 (see linkaddr(3); this is not documented in route(8)!).
 The correct call would be:
 	route add -host 10.20.30.40 -link :0:a:b:c:d:e -iface -static
 or, if you explicitely want to use fxp0
 	route add -host 10.20.30.40 -link fxp0:0:a:b:c:d:e -iface -static
