I've committed the proposed fix (from #144) into patch-o-matic/pending.

Comments?



I don't know if reverting to 2.4.22 is the correct fix, the change was made after this
mail from Alexey http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-net&m=105915597804604&w=2 ,
he states that giving out ifindex is a bug. I don't understand the problem yet but I'm
looking into it.

BTW: Why do we need a route lookup at all ? Couldn't we just use the first address on dev->in_dev->ifa_list ?

Best regards,
Patrick
