This patch fixes RIP under Linux with IPv4 (IPv6 not tested). RIP could not send packets under Linux/IPv4 because the source address was set to the multicast destination address or the broadcast address respectively. This resulted in the following error when sending out the first packet: Unexpected error at rip transmit: Invalid argument Eventually no RIP packet could leave the host.
