Hello!
I implemented a patch to control the behaviour of the kernel when setting
routes automatically
while adding a new network address.
You can select the types of routes you want to be set automatically.
This enables the user - as an example - to set all routes in the local table
automatically,
but leave the main table untouched. (This is the special case I needed.)
If you want you can disable it completly by writing.
Any chance to be applied to the kernel?
Regards
~ Sven
