Ah. I was using the very old 2.4.2 kernel when digging up those notes. :) Unfortunately, stability in the older kernels has been very spotty. The option has been deprecated. Here are comments in net/netlink/netlink_dev.c: Now netlink devices are emulated on the top of netlink sockets by compatibility reasons. Remove this file after a period. --ANK On a recent system running 2.4.20, I did not enable the netlink device option in the kernel. However, /proc/net/netlink still exists and is available via AF_NETLINK sockets. What is it that you are trying to do? I am able to run the iproute tools and start zebra with my current setup. -Vince
