Research direction

Start with the linked Go playground sample and compare its map element creation with nftables_test.go around line 5016. Reproduce the "netlink receive: operation not supported" error against the reported versions, then determine whether the behavior can be corrected or needs a documented limitation and regression coverage.

Description

Hi,

I'm trying to use map to jump to different chains based in daddr but I got error "netlink receive: operation not supported" , this is my sample code https://go.dev/play/p/OKn2-_Dd81S
In nftables_test.go ln:5016 there is a map similar from which I copied how to create the element with no luck.

Also I'm trying to use a rule to do the match and after add IsDestRegSet as in #176 it seems the rule is created ok.

I'm working with versions v0.9.3 and v1.0.5

Thanks in advance!
