    I noticed the same thing, and I filed a bug report on it. That route
    is a goof caused by an imporper parsing of a file at boot time. You
    are right in trying to remove it. Here is what I put in my
    /etc/rc.d/rc.local file:

    # get rid of crap from stupid redhat network initialization bug! :-<
    route del -net 169.254.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0
