Problems with IP addressing that can be trigerred by using ifconfig

Description

Problem 1: losing connectivity due to incorrect routing table
To repeat:

  • create interface alias with same IP address as some existing interface
  • delete the alias interface or change its address
  • now the old IP address cannot be pinged anymore, because the connected route has been deleted.

Problem 2: kernel panic due to incorrect routing table
To repeat:

  • create interface alias with an IP address that has the same network part as some already existing address
  • delete the interface alias
  • try to ping the address that belonged to the removed alias
  • kernel panic happens. The callstack shows find_route() function as the culprit.

Haiku version is R1/alpha2. I'm using the anyboot image with QEMU.
