The libnl library refuses to initialize with 2.6.30 with pre-2.6.30
headers. With 2.6.30 I get

  $ libnl-1.1/src/nl-qdisc-dump brief
  Unable to retrieve qdisc cache

whereas previously I would get

  $ libnl-1.1/src/nl-qdisc-dump brief
  htb qdisc dev eth0 handle 01: parent root r2q 10000 default :02

It works fine if I use the headers from 2.6.30, but then I don't
believe it would work with older kernels.
