Which NIC, which kernel module?

"route" hangs when it tries to resolve the name and can't. "route -n"
will print out the routes immediately, right?

There is no loopback route with kernel 2.6. This is normal.
Is your /etc/host file properly formatted and has a 127.0.0.1/localhost
entry line? /etc/resolv.conf is proper too? If yes, do you have router
equiment? Maybe

# Controls ECN
net.ipv4.tcp_ecn = 0

# Controls TCP window scaling
net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 0

is needed in your /etc/sysctl.conf (one or both) and "sysctl -p" to be
executed then.
