Thank you for your reply!

Aside from the API break which happened a while ago I also don't understand 
why wasn't an official release made and was let to package mantainers to work it 
out.

Since NetworkManager is using libnl I guess a official release will be done some 
time now but the fact is that distro packagers seem to have picked the libnl-
*.pc changes and released such version.

Anyway, bug filled!
