In fact you managed to uncover a regression that was overlooked for quite some
time. Guess gw selection class 1 is rarely used. :-)
Can you apply the attached patch and verify that it fixes the problem ? Here
in my test setup it does.

Marek patch applied (thanks Guido) and verified.
gw_mode client 1 is now properly selecting a gateway when set in the config.
thanks for your prompt reply :)

Thanks for testing the patch. I updated the OpenWrt package and will provide a
patch that goes into the next release.
