Hi,
As I need to communicate between two parts of the kernel (a core TCP part,
and a loaded module), Andi suggested to use netlink for this purpose.
Since I'm not too familiar with Netlink (and I saw only userspace-kernel
communication using netlink), I'd need some introductory material about
netlink. Is some information about the subject available? Sample code would
be sufficient as well.
I've tried google but didn't find too much until now, so some help would be
appreciated.
TIA,
--

Look at notifier_chain_un/register(),un/register_netdevice_notifier(),
and their usage. You could also look at the usage of netdev_state_change()
