This has been observed by myself and @luizluca: ip route get is appending uid0 to the output, as seen from: root@OpenWrt2:~# ip route get 1.1.1.1 1.1.1.1 via 174.27.160.1 dev eth3 src 174.27.182.184 uid 0 cache root@OpenWrt2:~# so the fix is an anchored match, discarding all else. Also, using ip -o means never having to do multiline matches... Signed-off-by: Philip Prindeville <philipp@redfish-solutions.com>lilik-openwrt-22.03
