Inode for netlinks in /proc/net/netlink?

Hi,

currently (2.6.27) there seems to be no Inode informations about
the existing netlinks, only the pid of the process who has opened
such a netlink is seen.  Nevertheless, the file descriptor is
passed over to the child of the creator, e.g. after a fork for
a user space daemon like udevd.

Is there any other way to determine which socket found in dir
/proc/<pid>/fd/ is a netlink and also to determine which type
of netlink it is?  The lsof utility reports

     can't identify protocol

for such netlinks.
