] Currently, if the next-hop netdevice does not support ARP resolution, the destination MAC address is silently set to zero without reporting an error. This leads to incorrect behavior and may result in packet transmission failures. Fix this by deferring MAC resolution to the IP stack via neighbour lookup, allowing proper resolution or error reporting as appropriate.
