Hello,

This patch adds ability to send or receive data using Netlink [1] sockets in Linux OS using Socket Functions in PHP.
If you're going to commit this patch, some additions to documentation will be needed. Just let me know.

I would very appreciate your comments!

New version: http://www.progtech.ru/~oleg/php-netlinkV2.txt

Some more changes. Fixed socket_getpeername and socket_getsockname
functions to understand AF_NETLINK sockets. Patch made for PHP_5_3
branch. Any thoughts or opinions?

Hi,

Whats the status here?
I would say it does not sound like something we need to add now, but  
maybe for 5.3.1?
So in that light I would say please file a feature request with the  
patch attached or linked ..

regards,
Lukas

I think we need to start fixing the development cycle.
Waiting until its ok to commit to 5_3 is just wrong.

Committing things in HEAD and then merge them later is a lot better
way to do things.
