then I have no idea what you are trying to do. generic netlink has a specific 
way of working and also specific semantics bound with it. It is more D-Bus like 
than you think.

So without the genl.[ch] I am working on, there is no point in trying to copy 
our rtnl.c code for it. That is bound to be a major failure. While generic 
netlink is layered on top of standard netlink, it makes no sense to try to 
combine them. I have been down that road. Was a mistake.

Regards

Marcel
