Hello ,


I am compiling a module for User - kernel interaction using netlink
sockets , I have my code ready , which ran on 2.4 series of kernels
about 2 years back.

i have to do the same for 2.6.XX series , i have the latest fedore 8
2.6.23 kernel .
The user space code compiled well , the kernel module is giving
trouble. with the following errors.

error : 'struct netlink_skb_parms' has no member named 'groups'
error : 'struct netlink_skb_parms' has no member named 'dst_pid'
error : 'struct netlink_skb_parms' has no member named 'dst_groups'

though this structure is well defined in netlink.h. The macro
NETLINK_CB (skb) is also well defined.

anybody here used netlink sockets on a 2.6.x.x machine?

Not directly... but udev communicates using netlink. Maybe you
can take a look at its source (?).
