Linux 'local' table (255) import into BIRD?

[Volodymyr Samodid]

Sorry, I've not read your email carefully.
I saw errors "kernel1 < rejected by protocol" in log and lack of "device 
routes yes" in config and suggest my solution.

local table has special meaning in Linux, and I've never try do some 
trick with it. I can suggest use ip monitor and read bird source.
