nlmsg_fromstream can incorrectly return error based on stream size #14

Closed wraith-wireless closed 8 years ago

wraith-wireless commented 8 years ago

Line 436: if t == nlh.NLMSG_ERROR or l == nlh.NLMSGACKLEN:

Some messages are 36 bytes, nlh.NLMSGACKLEN which causes nlmsg_fromstream to incorrectly raise an error. Have to rework this.

NOTE: this will not cause failure in the execution of pyw. However, if attempting to parse netlink messages from strace and iw, can result in incorrectly throwing error

Added override parameter for debugging/netlink output parsing
