The function, which actually pushes the route into the kernel,
"olsr_ioctl_add_route6" is in src/linux/net.c.
That is called by olsr_add_kernel_route() in src/process_routes.c.
That is called by olsr_add_kernel_routes() in src/process_routes.c.
That is called at the end of olsr_update_kernel_routes().

And there Hannes must continue;-)
