Hi!

I am working on Mobile IPv6 for kernels 2.4.x and as a part of that I'm
trying to make the changing of the default route "smoother". Currently in
our system the routes related to the previous subnet (the default route
and network and host routes) are deleted (with fib6_clean_tree) before the
new default route is installed. This works fine except for a short break
when there is no default route.

I'm trying to change the system to delete the old routes only after
installing the new ones. I've tried adding a hook to the
ndisc_router_discovery function's end to delete the old routes. This does
not work in spite of the routing table looks correct. Does anyone
have an idea of what I'm doing wrong or any suggestions for an
alternative? 

TIA,
Henrik Petander
