Hi Steev,

While the libnl landscape indeed seems to have simplified since the
last time I took a look at it, I don't think we are in a good place
right now. The last upload of libnl3 was in 2018. The packaging Git
repository has disappeared. Upstream-wise, there's a 3.5.0 release on
GitHub (picked up by Fedora), but it's not listed on the project
homepage... Not very encouraging.

There's also a known issue with the integration related to tcpdump
which now drops privileges by default and cannot delete the mon
interface it creates, leaking interfaces at each invocation.

So I won't be enabling this. I'm still of the opinion that libpcap
should do the work by itself and not require libnl.

Thanks.
