There's a whole bunch of code in libnl I use, all the generic netlink family resolving etc. Maybe Thomas can prerelease a libnl with generic netlink support? > This is not good direction to go to..

Actually, the latter point hasn't been true for a long time, ever since David Woodhouse cleaned up exporting kernel headers to userspace glibc has happily shipped them. > I would much rather use these for now and should the /usr/include/linux > directory in most distributions some day have all the needed stuff, then > we could move towards using those.
