For this test genl-ctrl-list to work properly, shouldn't there be a kernel module who is listening for this? In other words, should I run this command after I have loaded and insmod the kernel part of my code? This library is in user space, after all right, whereas the netlink related code is in the kernel.<br>

</div>This could be related. What I am trying to say here is that there is<br>
code in src/genl-ctrl-list.c which can easily verify whether the<br>
kernel part is functioning properly so you can easily track down the<br>
origin of your problem quickly.<br>

</div>This is perfectly acceptable and you are encouraged to do so.<br>
