IPv6 Preferred Source selection

Hi,

does someone if the preferred source selection is working for ipv6 ?

I've inspected route_obj.c and it seems, that the nl_msg is filled
with the prefsrc and the flag RTA_PREFSRC is set. But it seems that the
RTA_PREFSRC is completly ignored within the kernel.

see rtm_to_fib6_config in linux/net/ipv6/route.c which parses
the netlink message and (should) create the routing entry.

Does anyone know how to select the preferred source for a route for ipv6 ?

regards,
daniel
