It worked for me in trivial > cases, but is this approach correct generically? It is supposed to always work to reverse netlink messages back to the kernel. There a couple of caveats: 1.

The feature isn't commonly used and it is always possible that it will expose a kernel bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
