Hi, Thanks for the response. I hit the next roadblock in getting the development subversion, since I am behind a proxy and the proxy is not supporting the required HTTP protocols. Is there any other repository of the same code which is not under subversion? Thanks, simha. -----Original Message----- From: linux-net-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-net-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Moore, Paul Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2007 12:11 AM To: linux-net@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Generic Netlink Sockets [NOTE: my apologies about not quoting the earlier message but I've just joined the mailing list] Hello, As pointed out earlier, if you are trying to write a userspace app to talk over Netlink or Generic Netlink then libnl[1] is most likely your best bet. While the latest release does not include explicit support of Generic Netlink the code inside of Subversion does provide Generic Netlink support according to the Changelog[2]. Also, don't forget that Generic Netlink is just a layer on top of Netlink. If you don't want to use development snapshots from the libnl subversion tree you can always use one of the released versions and write your own Generic Netlink layer on top the Netlink support in libnl. The NetLabel userspace tools[3] do just that, feel free to take a look at the code to see how to work with Generic Netlink in userspace.
