I have been hanging on the 2.1.97 kernel for a bit and just went to
2.1.103. I use iproute2 to do my routing changes (from a 56kppp to 128k
ISDN on the fly.) But alas iproute2 seems not to work in this kernel
anymore. I nabbed the latest src from ftp.inr.ac.ru:/ip-routing but it
also seems not to work. Here is the error I get:

root@bitgate:/usr/src/linux# ip route change default via 204.202.175.130
cannot open netlink socket: Invalid argument
cannot open rtnetlink

I also get the error for any iproute2 requests like showing the route table:

root@bitgate:/usr/src/linux# ip route
cannot open netlink socket: Invalid argument
cannot open rtnetlink

I checked over my kernel .config and all seems in order.

Thanks much!
