* Wed Sep 10 2008 Bill Nottingham <notting at redhat.com> - 8.82-1
- refresh translation strings
- plymouth updates. (#460702, <rstrode at redhat.com>)
- translation updates: fi, lv, no
- remove duplicate dependency (#465182)
- ifup-eth: Change how we set the zeroconf route. (#239609)
- ifup*: Use 0.0.0.0/0, not 0/0. (#460580)

and the fix is easy. Just the files

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp

use 0/0
