>Description:
an error appears in the routing table of our freebsd computer. we have a directed subnet connected (network 192.168.149.0) and this entry appears sometimes in our freebsd routing table : 
192.168.149.0  ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff : this cause a lot of problem because our machine have trouble to speak with their gateway because of this entry.
the question is : how can the line 
192.168.149.0 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff appears alone in the routing table.
>How-To-Repeat:
?
>Fix:
the only solution we find to this probleme is to reboot the machine but it's a very very troubleshooting solution so if somebody can help us ?

 This is the historic (pre-standard) broadcast address for this
 network.  The routing table entry makes it easier for the kernel to
 recognize this address.

Such routing table entries are pretty much valid.
