[Xorp-hackers] Fix for xorp.ct on older kernels.

One of the optimizations I added in xorp.ct was to only pull information
for devices we are configured to use, instead of asking netlink for the
entire tree. This saves a lot of work when you have 1000 interfaces and
xorp only configured for a few of them.
However, older kernels (2.6.18, when compile without
CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS_RTNETLINK, for example) cannot get netlink info
for a single device.
So, I just pushed a patch to xorp.ct that adds a work-around
that allows xorp to fall back to grab all interfaces for
kernels that only support this method.
Thanks to saurabh.pandya at elitecore.com for reporting this bug and
giving me enough info to track it down.
Thanks,
Ben
