[mpls-linux-general] MPLS: unable to find a protocol driver(2048)

[Tom K. <t.k...@gm...>]

Hello all/James,

Sorry for the interruption. I have a problem running MPLS with  
iptables. When create a rule with iptables and I want to send packets  
according this rule, I get an error. So first I set up an LSP and use  
the nhlfe key in the iptables rule. In this case the key is 0x2. Then  
I set the following rule:


sudo /sbin/iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -s 10.0.0.6 -d 10.0.0.1 - 
p udp --source-port 4000 --destination-port 4000 -j mpls --nhlfe 0x2

When I send packets with these source/destination addresses/port, the  
following message appears in dmesg:

[user@node09 2.6.26.6-49.fc8.mpls.1.962]$ dmesg
...
MPLS: version 1.962
MPLS: protocol driver interface - <jl...@mi...>
...
ip_tables: (C) 2000-2006 Netfilter Core Team
MPLS: unable to find a protocol driver(2048)


I am using the pre-built kernel and rpms from the sourceforge website,  
version 1.962, on a F8 distro.
Can you provide with more information on this error message?

Many thanks!!

Tom
