Can you please halp me? You should first fetch your attributed family ID by sending a generic netlink request (CTRL_CMD_GETFAMILY) to the generic netlink control family (GENL_ID_CTRL). Once you have your family ID, you can build generic netlink messages and send them there. I'm linking with libnl, but you can have a look at my irconfig draft at http://sortiz.org/irda/irconfig.c
