Bug#562170: netspeed selects wrong default interface

[Chow Loong Jin]

Package: netspeed
Version: 0.15.2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

When netspeed is told to use the default interface, it selects the first
interface from /proc/net/route that has a gateway of 0.0.0.0, which is wrong. It
should select the first interface that has a destination IP of 0.0.0.0, as
that would be the default route.
