[Chilli] net.c error

[Robert White]

In chilli i see this error message in the logs quite a bit:

coova-chilli[18699]: net.c: 972: 17 (File exists) ioctl(SIOCADDRT) failed


There are some details on it here
http://www.voodish.co.uk/articles/siocaddrt-file-exists-fixed-linux-network-ip-address/
that
are not related to chilli.

My question is what is chilli actually trying to do when this error is
thrown?

Thanks,
