Subject: 2.6.20.3-rc1 / iproute2 hoplimit 2^32-1 vs 2^8-1

Hi,

On kernel based on 2.6.20.3-rc1 (FC6), 'ip -6 r l' shows:

default via fe80::212:f0ff:fe5f:c4ec dev eth1  proto kernel  metric 1024  expires 7191sec mtu 1500 advmss 1440 hoplimit 4294967295

(this is the same with iproute2-ss061214 and iproute2-ss070313.)

So, it seems that the data length for hoplimit is not quite right, or 
it's reported as 2^32-1 instead of 2^8-1...
