This message appears to come from libnl3, actually.  See classid_init()
and rtnl_tc_read_classid_file(), I think it's looking
for /etc/libnl/classid.  Do you have that file?  You might need to
configure libnl3 with the right --prefix and --sysconfdir.

Thomas, maybe this warning should be downgraded to a debug or something?
