For some reason libnl does require an ack handler. Without such handler,
if the data and the actual ack are sent back to the application with two
independent messages, the second recv will just be the ack. My example
did not take this into account. Now I changed it to something like this:
 do {
   nl_recvmsgs(handle, cb);
 } while (ack == 0);

Now it happens to work.
