After just a quick glance, it looks like it creates /dev/netlink as a char dev and then tries to create /dev/netlink as a directory. Assuming I didn't miss something, the directory creation can never be successfull as another file of that name already exists. You could try renameing one of the "netlink"s to something else and see what happens. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
