Subject: [parisc-linux] netlink ?
List-ID: <linux-parisc.vger.kernel.org>

Have got a very recent CVS kernel up and running on a 712/60
and want to use it for messing with the Linux IP advanced router
capabilities.

kernel .config has netlink and rtlink set, but ls -l /proc/net shows
no sign of netlink (compared to i386 which does) and iproute2 ip
reports:

ip a l
Cannot open netlink socket: Address family not supported by protocol

/var/log contents are not much use.

Can anyone help me understand why this doesn't just work right out
of the box :)

thanks much, Andy
