Thanks.

That explains it. So libnl is fine in your case. In OE we have it named
libnl2_2.0.bb to not clash with the libnl recipes.

I would expect that Poky does not have any recipes included that only support
the old libnl version. See the list below.

bmon
ibrdtn
lowpan-tools
networkmanager
networkmanager-openvpn

That are the ones that come in mind quickly. The first three are not in  Poky
(at least as afar as I know). For the networkmanager part I would be interested
how you got it working with libnl2.
