 Networking Changes
 ==================
 
-    Please read Documentation/networking/routing.txt. People wanting to use
-all the new routing table features such as OSPF classes should also read
-Documentation/networking/policy-routing.txt.
+   Please read Documentation/networking/routing.txt and
+Documentation/networking/policy-routing.txt for more information about
+changes in routing code.  OSPF classes have been added, and interface
+routes are generated automatically.
+
+   If for some reason you need to override this automatic default
+routing, you have to specify the complete route specification (netmask,
+device, etc.) for the kernel to accept it. Consequently, you need to
+either remove interface routes from your init scripts or add missing
+information to them if you need to replace the automatic routes.
+
+   Also note that some routes, such as loopback routes, do not show up
+in some standard tools.  Check in /proc/net/rt_local to verify their
+presence.
