Thanks for reporting this.

It would be possible to implement nl_socket_set_buffer_size() for libnl
1.1 as well, but I guess I don't really care enough about that old
version anymore to add such complexity and for now, it's fine to #ifdef
this out. That said, I'll fix this with CONFIG_LIBNL20 which is more
appropriate define to use here.
