 Yes, it works.
 In 2.2.20 custom kernel it is in line 2283:

                case SIOCADDRT:
                case SIOCDELRT:
//                      if(!capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN))
//                              return (-EPERM);
                        return (ipxrtr_ioctl(cmd,(void *)arg));

 Again, log is here:

 Now I can attach server and run needed programs.
 Thank you, Stas!

 One strange thing I noticed:
 login.exe eats CPU power (to 99%) about 20 seconds,
 but works after it as usual.
