Yeah, but in those one, you should only configure "classical" routes, that is a network
for eth, a point to point connection for plip or ppp. I think it is confusing if you can
setup a network with a plip interface, or a point to point route with an ethernet
interface (I took that point of view from someone, I think you...).
I think it is conceptually good to separate the routing problem and the interface setup
problem, for the non trivial routing.

That is resolved how ?

Why not setup that in the common networking stuff ?

It is not what I wanted to say : in the actual muLinux, the routes are not deleted. (need
something like
#route del x.x.x.x dev interface
).
Not really annoying, though, as the interfaces are taken down.

depending on the interface
eth : addr, network, netmask
plip and ppp : addr, addr of the other side, name of the other side (the pair to go to
/etc/hosts)
> network.fun: nameserver?,hostname?,dhcp? (/etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf, etc)
and the gateway.
and additionnal routes (or maybe this in another fun dedicated to routing).

Surely.
