The way you and Wietse are trying to advocate Linux to change, is obviously just not working out. Your politics only inflame, there is no progress in this thread. Please stop it, and either ignore Linux in your software, or learn how to use netlink for your task. There have been offers of help, and you could probably have working code by now, if you took those offers, instead of writing nice political speeches. Please, EVERYBODY calm down. There is only pain. Deal with it. regards Patrick
