OK... so why is Linux adding it as a perm route? Even though it is
probably harmless for it to be in there being a purist I would rather it
not be.
It is part of making network setup painless for those who do not even
know what an ipaddress is. In Red Hat/fedora if you add NOZEROCONF=1 [1] to
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* you will no longer get the routes.
I do not know the official way to shut them off in SUSE though.
[1] Actually any value other than zero will turn this off.

Tom
