Thanks Sean. Couldn't the connection be established already when 
inserting the remote address to the AV? From the API it looks like an 
event can be generated once the insertion completes. In case of rxm this 
could be when the connection is established.

Anyway, I can work around the EAGAIN in my application, so not a big 
problem.
