And how rtnet knows wath device to call?
IOCTLs on RTDM sockets come in over the related protocol handler, see e.g. this one for packet sockets: http://www.rts.uni-hannover.de/rtnet/lxr/source/stack/packet/af_packet.c#L240 From there on you can easily go down the chain. As the IOCTLs are per-socket and not per-device, you have to provide the information about the address device within the request packet. Do you have some Linux data structure you can reuse for it? Something like for SIOCGIFINDEX? Jan
