	Is your patch for setting static routes? The problem I described is 
because Solid always returns a empty route, even if you use DHCP and the route 
is working ok. In monolithic/tooltipbuilder.cpp there is this code:

    else if (requestedInfo == QLatin1String("routes")) {
#if KDE_IS_VERSION(4, 2, 95)
        QList<Solid::Control::IPv4Route> routes = cfg.routes();

        if (!routes.isEmpty()) {
            temp = buildRoutesHtmlTable(routes);
        }
        else temp = i18nc("@info:tooltip No network route data available", "No 
route data available");
#else
        temp = i18nc("@info:tooltip No network route data available", "No 
route data available");
#endif

        html = QString("<tr><td><b>%1:</b></td><td>&nbsp;%2</td></tr>")
                .arg(i18nc("@info:tooltip network routes", "Routes"))
                .arg(temp);
    }


	Even if I remove the #if KDE_IS_VERSION(4, 2, 95), routes.isEmpty() 
always returns true. Does your patch solve this issue?
