Hi,
I want to use netlink socket between kernel and userspace in order to
get some information from kernel code.
I use netlink_broadcast function in order to send information to a
specific group, and my user-level code connect to this socket with the
correct groupId but doesn't receive anythings.
Everythings works when I use netlink_unicast.
I use centos5.2, kernel 2.6.18-92.1.22
If someone can help me...
Thierry
