wired route entry

wired route entry

[ip tables]

hello group(S)

I have installed redhat 9 (2.4.20 - 8) on an i686 with
3 network cards fixed. When i start network services
it puts in an entry 

169.254.0.0 255.255.0.0 eth2

why does this happen. This happen on boot also but i
managed to remove it with a route del in the rc.local.
What is the reason for this and how can i prevent
this.

Thanks and regards
