  When the KDEB_INTERFACELIST configuration setting is used,
  it may not result in the expected behavior when the
  following two conditions are true, thus resulting in
  components showing as offline:
  1. The first address in the list is invalid.
  2. The second address is valid.
  In this instance, the valid (second) interface is never used
  or marked as the preferred interface. The RAS1 log error
  messages indicate no attempt to connect on the valid
  address.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code was changed to recognize and mark as preferred the
  first valid interface found in the list.
