Yes, I tried 'dev eth0' on its own and it didn't work.
There seems to be a default metric=0 parameter on the ip command, if
metric is not explicitly specified.
If the metric is 0, the 'ip addr show' shows no metric information:
root@ryvius:~# ip route add default via 85.119.80.1 dev eth0 metric 0
root@ryvius:~# ip -4 route show
85.119.80.0/21 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 85.119.83.253
default via 85.119.80.1 dev eth0
root@ryvius:~# ip route add default via 85.119.80.1 dev eth0 metric 100
root@ryvius:~# ip -4 route show
85.119.80.0/21 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 85.119.83.253
default via 85.119.80.1 dev eth0 metric 100
I suspect this "metric 100" comes from the debian/ubuntu network
scripts: their default must be 100 unless you specify another metric in
/etc/network/interfaces.

Nope, it happened to me and it was the
'metric 100' that did it.
Was it definitely the "metric 100" that
you needed as opposed to
just the "dev eth0"?
