It is the right place :)

Ubuntu seems to do specific things here. Debian provides libnetlink.h
as part of the iproute-dev package [1]. Gentoo provides it with the
iproute package. However Ubuntu doesn't provide such a file in the
iproute, iproute-dev, iproute2 or iproute2-dev packages.

I don't know if the /usr/include/netlink/netlink.h file provided by
the libnl package provide the same definitions. Could you please send
a link to a copy of it or send it on the mailing list (if not too
large)? I'll check if that header could fit.

Regards,
Didier
