this is not the point,.

i just pointet out, that the os-specific parts of olsrd`s routing code (that
lives inside the olsr_ioctl_add_route() ), can not use any infrastructure of
the os-unspecific olsrd-core at the moment to try it later,.. (it can only
try again immediately, but not later)

and such a infrastructure will not be as trivial as your code snippet,..

(but of course it would be dooable,..)

but before thinking about this i would like to see a EAGAIN error,..

especially as there are no ioctl functions involved!
(at least in linux we have (netlink-socket based) routing code, and bsd has
a similar kernel interface (routing socket))
