The test fails because the attribute IFLA_CARRIER_UP_COUNT and IFLA_CARRIER_DOWN_COUNT are not declared in this kernel. In this kernel, IFLA_NEW_IFINDEX has the numeric value of IFLA_CARRIER_UP_COUNT in an upstream kernel (if I patch iproute2 to use IFLA_CARRIER_UP_COUNT instead of IFLA_NEW_IFINDEX, I can get the new ifindex).
iproute2 (like a lot of others tools) has a local copy of linux uapi headers, thus the numeric value of netlink attributes must be the same than upstream.
