Because netlink is an IPC mechanism, you must bind with nl_pid 0 to make sure
you are talking to the kernel. The kernel code should only interpret packets
that have nl_pid set to 0. Any other packets should be discarded perhaps with
an error to make sure there's no impostors.
Steve, can you see if this fixes it up for you?
David is building a new kernel for everyone, I'll re-test when its available.
Thanks,
