In a second step I am converting the netlink send/receive function to use libnl. I tested this with 802.1Qbg profiles and my test server and did not see a regression. Caveat: The online documentation of libnl talks about nl_socket_alloc() but the header file provides nl_handle_alloc() -- this could be a hint to a possible problem between libnl versions... http://www.infradead.org/~tgr/libnl/doc/group__socket.html versus http://libnl.sourcearchive.com/documentation/1.1/group__socket_gf903c9ea0...
