Hi,

I'm trying to create a Netlink socket to configure an ipv6 interface.
The socket call I used is -

socket(AF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_ROUTE6);

I'm getting compiler error "error: NETLINK_ROUTE6 undeclared (first use in this function)"
And I'm facing the same problem for "AF_NETLINK6".

I grep'ed in source code of 2.6.32 kernel and system header files, I didn't find anywhere these constants.
Are these constants are correct ? If not, what are the correct one's and in which header file I can find them.

Thanks & Regards
Murali Annamneni
