The 169.254.0.0 subnet is the so-called "Zeroconfig" network: it's the default 
configuration for latest Windows versions when you have a network card but 
you haven't configured any address for it. Redhat (at least 9.0) and Fedora 
add it by default to be "compatible" whith this Windows "feature".
