Hi,

I want to use keepalive vrrp daemon with virtual mac address(vmac) with linux 2.6.32.y kernel. But I've encountered some problems and I can't configured keepalived source.

I run configure script with --with-kernel-dir="my_kernel_dir"(which my 2.6.32.y kernel directory)
./configure --with-kernel-dir="my_kernel_dir"
but when configure controlling kernel macvlan support, it can't find kernel macvlan support so I couldn't use vmac.

As I know, macvlan support is comed Linux since version 2.6.23 kernel.Then I changed configured script.
macvlan = 1;
then successfully configured but I couldn't compile keepalived code. As I see from compile errors, compiler gets angry because of "IFLA_MACVLAN_MODE" not defined in 2.6.32.y kernel code.

What is the minimum kernel version of keepalived code?
How can I use virtual mac address(vmac) keepalived-vrrp with 2.6.32.y kernel?

Thanks.
