I finally got around to have a look at this, and I now added support
for source routing. It appears to work for me (current git) with:


wireless.network ---8<-----------------------

[Match]
Name=wlp3s0

[Network]
DHCP=yes
Tunnel=he

he.netdev ---8<-----------------------------------------

[NetDev]
Name=he
Kind=sit

[Tunnel]
Remote=222.333.444.555
TTL=255

he.network ---8<-----------------------------------------

[Match]
Name=he-ipv6

[Network]
Address=2001:470:11::2/64

[Route]
Gateway=2001:470:11::1
Source=2001:470:22::/48

[Route]
Gateway=2001:470:11::1
Source=2001:470:11::2/128

[Route]
Source=::/128

---8<-----------------------------------------

Let me know if you experience any issues!

We don't have a nice solution for this yet, but it is something we are
keeping in mind and will have to solve somehow (much of the common
things will be integrated with networkd directly).

Cheers,
