A lot of things have changed with the 2.2.0 kernels.  I don't remember
for sure, but I'm pretty sure that I had to make similar adjustments
to the way I use route when I went from 2.0.36 to 2.1.13x.

Have you updated dhcpcd also?  It seems to be a seperate package from
nettools.  1.3.6 looks to be the most recent version, although
anything from 1.3.16 on should work in theory.  According to the DHCP
mini-HOWTO, you should be able to find a current version in
http://www.cps.msu.edu/~dunham/out/.  If you use RedHat, check out
ftp://rawhide.redhat.com/ for packages which work with late 2.1 and
2.2pre kernels.
