== libnel ==

Custom library for netlink iterface. Written on C.
Standard libnl, libnl-route, ... are big enough for
using on routers, so we've created a custom one.
Like libnl-tiny in OpenWrt. Now we think that more
useful would be to make API identical to libnl API,
but we didin't.

* libnel -- core helper library. Implements API to
netlink.

* libnel-route -- based on libnel. Implements API
for interfaces, ip and routes management.

* libnel-genl -- based on libnel, helper library.
Implements API to generic netlink.

* libnel-80211 -- based libnel-genl. Implemets API
for management Wi-Fi/802.11.

To debug define environment variable LIBNEL_DEBUG.

For testing libnel-route we've created a simple cmdline util 'ip':
Usage: [OPTIONS] OBJECT CMD [CMD_OPTIONS].
Options: -d -- debugging, -h -- help, -s -- statistics (show verbose info)
  $ ip link [show [IFACE]]
  $ ip link set IFACE up|down
  $ ip link set IFACE addr hh:hh:hh:hh:hh:hh
  $ ip link set IFACE master MASTER_IFACE
  $ ip link set IFACE nomaster
  $ ip link add IFACE type bridge
  $ ip link add IFACE type vlan LINK_IFACE VLAN_ID
  $ ip link del IFACE 
  $ ip addr [show [IFACE]]
  $ ip addr add|del IFACE ADDR/BITS
  $ ip route [show [dest ADDR/BITS] [proto PROTO] [type TYPE] [scope SCOPE]
    [table TABLE] [gw ADDR]]
  $ ip route show all
  $ ip route get ADDR
  $ ip route add|del DEST/BITS via GW

For testing libnl-80211 we've created a simple cmdline util 'iw':
Usage: iw [options] [iface]
Options: -d -- log level info, -d2 --log level debug
