I think it looks like a great start! Then you=E2=80=99ll need to provide bindings to =E2=80=98sendmsg=E2=80=99 to actually make use of the data stru= ctures you defined (Guile itself already provides =E2=80=98sendmsg=E2=80=99 but it=E2= =80=99s too high-level to be usable with netlink sockets, AFAICS.) We can chat on IRC if you have any questions or comments. Thank you for working on it! Ludo=E2=80=99.
