Latest udev says that it requires netlink support in the kernel, however I
can't find any concrete info on how to enable netlink in 2.6.14+ .. a grep of
NETLINK in .config doesn't find anything. I saw an option that made reference
to netlink, but it didn't actually state that it was enabling netlink. What's
the magic config option? Or how does one check if a running kernel has
netlink support functional?
thanks!

I'm not worried. If there's something bad out there we'll find, you'll slay,
we'll party!

If you have network support at all (i.e. CONFIG_NET=y), you have netlink
support. (This has been true for some time.)
