[This is about why/whether there should be a fallback from creating an AF_INET socket to issue SIOCETHTOOL on.] I looked a little further, and found: - The only address/protocol family that is always present in the kernel (assuming CONFIG_NET=y) is netlink - Netlink sockets don't support ioctl at all So there seems to be no right answer to 'which family of socket should I create to perform device ioctls'. There really ought to be! Ben. -- Ben Hutchings If at first you don't succeed, you're doing about average.
