(usagi-users 03573) 2.6.14.3 Kernel issue with rtnetlink/af_netlink



Hello,
We had been running the Linux kernel 2.6.13.
We have an application process that listens for rtnl messages using
"busybox-1.00/networking/libiroute/libnetlink(rtnl_listen routine)".

Specifically, the kernel gets IPV6 Global prefix RA packets via a radvd
server.
When the kernel gets the RA packet and verifies it, our application looks to
see that the rtnl generated message  "nlmsg_type == RTN_NEWADDR".  
Based on this, the listen sockets and binds for these addresses are then set
up..
This all worked well with 2.6.13.

We upgraded to 2.6.14 R3 and we no longer are getting any messages when new
addresses are learned.

Has anyone seen this issue or anything remotely similar? If not, any other
help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Phil Bellino
