One of the optimizations I added in xorp.ct was to only pull information
     for devices we are configured to use, instead of asking netlink for the
     entire tree.  This saves a lot of work when you have 1000 interfaces and
     xorp only configured for a few of them.

     However, older kernels (2.6.18, when compile without
     CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS_RTNETLINK, for example) cannot get netlink info
     for a single device.

     So, I just pushed a patch to xorp.ct that adds a work-around
     that allows xorp to fall back to grab all interfaces for
     kernels that only support this method.

     Thanks to [email protected] for reporting this bug and
     giving me enough info to track it down.


Thanks,
Ben
