Spec URL: http://bigw.org/~dan/libnl3.spec

SRPM URL: http://bigw.org/~dan/libnl3-3.2.3-1.fc16.src.rpm

Description: libnl3 is intended to supplant the existing libnl package over
time, but to ensure smooth updates we need to keep the old libnl package around
for a while too since many things depend on it, and the API/ABI changed
significantly between libnl1 and libnl3.

Since libnl3 is parallel installable with libnl1, I elected to create a new
libnl3 package much like we have glib/glib2 etc.

NetworkManager 0.9.4 will depend on libnl3 for features such as bonding,
bridging, and VLANs.
