iproute2-2.6.38 + oif argument error

Hello,

I am trying to exercise 'ip rules'  command with some configuration on
 a PowerPC Processor. Version is iproute2-2.6.38


I tried "ip rule add oif eth1 table 100"
It  resulted with  error message "RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument".

Can anybody tried this.

It is shown in the ip rule help all the possible options . Few of them
are iif, oif.    iif option is working . No issue observed.   oif
option is causing error.


Can you please share any patch fixes to proceed further ?

Thanks,
Ganesh
