Any idea what can cause this? The system was working fine earlier,
so it is compiled with netlink support, etc.
Last thing someone did was to add 258 mac-vlans on top of
an ethernet port. Removing macvlan module did not improve
things.
'ifconfig -a' works fine.
This is on a 4.0.4 (+ local hacks) kernel, nothing overly weird in dmesg, and no
new dmesg info when this fails to work:

A reboot 'fixed' things, and we have not been able to reproduce the
problem.
Thanks,
