There have been a lot of changes for 2.6.23, so here is a test release
of iproute2 that should capture all the submitted patches

Pavel Emelianov (1):
     Make ip utility veth driver aware

Why does this add a new ip subcommand instead and uses genetlink
instead of the rtnl_link API, which was introduced exactly for
this stuff?

Hm... It does not, it just adds a parser for veth commands that
generic layer isn't aware of.

It does, you have "ip veth add", "ip veth del", ...

Didn't you already sent a patch that used "ip link add ..."?

The patch I sent last used "ip link add" and "ip link del".
The link_veth.c file only parses all the extra arguments.

In any case this should be replaced by proper use of the rtnl_link
stuff.
