We don't need to configuration interfaces - we only need the preferred one.=
 If=20
this is sysfs for you guys then we should not have started with generic=20
netlink at all. And why wasn't this brought up now *after* the stuff was=20
merged by David. It isn't the first time that I've stated clearly that ther=
e=20
should be no new sysfs configuration files when we switch to genl.

If it now preferred to have sysfs again for configuration then please discu=
ss=20
it with the netdev folks and find out how the new generic netlink interface=
=20
can be removed again before the next release.

Kind regards,
