The source to the "ip" command is pretty much the documentation for netlink. Anytime you need to now how to do something with netlink, your best bet is to grab the ip sources and see how it does it. In this case, you want to look at "ip link ls eth0" or the equivalent. -- Casey Carter Casey@Carter.net ccarter@uiuc.edu AIM: cartec69 - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
