Hi,
after todays merges of Benoit's patches to use libnl directly instead ofip, I was wondering why nm_generic_device_flush_ip4_routes_with_iface insrc/backends/NetworkManagerGeneric.c still calls ip and wasn't ported touse libnl.
Because there were issues with that patch and VPN connections that I'm
sending more info to Benoit about.  The routing table is different with
that code than without it, and caused any traffic over VPN to return
EINVAL (even a ping to 4.2.2.1).

But the plan is to fix that up and kill usage of /sbin/ip entirely.


Cool, good to know.

Cheers,
Michael
