What changed recently is that the Bird 2.15 port defaults to using
Netlink instead of route sockets to access the kernel routing table on
FreeBSD 14.0 and later. Can you install the other flavor of the bird2
port (bird2-rtsock-2.15.1 instead of bird2-2.15.1), restart the bird2
service (not just reload the running process), and report back if that
works? If that alone solves your problem you've found a regression in
the new default flavor.

I am using FreeBSD 14 with FIBs.
With bird2.14 I get routes via BGP and anything is fine.
With bird2.15.1 I get routes, but the daemon doesn’t put them into the
kernel routing table. Same configuration work with older version.
Does something change which has an effect on it?
