Unfortunately, libmnl only allows setting socket options that are of SOL_NETLINK. This precludes setting socket options such as SO_ATTACH_FILTER which need to be of level SOL_SOCKET. It seems to be a mistake to have hard-coded the socket level instead of simply letting the user specify it :-/

Indeed, I'm going to obsolete the current function and provide a new one. Sorry.

Actually, we can obsolete mnl_setsockopt(...), which is silly BTW, and we can use mnl_socket_get_fd(...) with setsockopt(...).
