Subject: [PATCH] DECnet Fix for DECnet routing bug

From: Patrick Caulfield <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 02 Aug 2006 15:19:24 +0100

This patch fixes a bug in the DECnet routing code where we were selecting
a loopback device in preference to an outward facing device even when
the destination was known non-local. This patch should fix the problem.
