Would you like to check and rebase on Matthias' > patchset? I agree about debugfs. As i already said, i've played with netlink and netns. I changed my debugfs patch, so that it only creates files for the default netns. For all other netns, debugfs operations become a NOP, and you need to use netns. Andrew
