Mmh, we are doing much more things with "ip",
especially "ip route"
which cannot be done with "route", ie source based
routing and more than
one routing table. Until now, I am using ip on various
plattforms, for
me the output looks very similar. When I provide a small
patch which check
the availability of a recent "ip" and then tries
to use it, would you
consider to take a look onto it?
Cheers,
Dirk
