bind:cannot allocate memoey

Hi,

i am running a supplicant(open source). In this i am creating a netlink socket. after creation of socket when i am binding that socket with address. is shows following error

bind:cannt allocate memory.

i had my own protocol for netlink socket creation.
s=(PF_NETLINK,SOCK_RAW,NETLINK_XYZ);

but if i use following netlink socket it works fie
s=(PF_NETLINK,SOCK_RAW,NETLINK_ROUTE);

PROBLEM IS AT BINDING TIME NOT DURING SOCKET CREATION.

i am using linux - 2.6.16. can you tell me why this is happening.

Thanks
Prabhakar

You should be more specific when you ask questions like these. What programming language are you using? What library are you working with? Also, I don't know what a supplicant is, so I can't help you there, either
