Re: [mpls-linux-general] Hello

Hi Nilesh,
 Linux : Debian 5 with 2.6.26-1-686 kernel.
 Then download and install linux-2.6.25.14 with mpls-1.962 patch. download
1.962 patch from
http://repo.or.cz/w/mpls-linux.git/snapshot/131b65b4fdc79d30b75d351d3e4bc155da932548.tar.gz.

Here is my dmesg output :
parul:/usr/src/mpls-linux# dmesg | grep MPLS
[    0.852242] MPLS: version 1.962
[    0.852296] MPLS: protocol driver interface - <jl...@mi...>
[    0.852758] MPLS: IPv4 over MPLS support

parul:/usr/src/mpls-linux# uname -a
Linux parul 2.6.25.14 #1 SMP Mon Oct 25 17:48:57 EDT 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
parul:/usr/src/mpls-linux#

I took RPM packages from
http://mpls-linux.sourceforge.net/fedora/10/i386/mpls/

then use alien to convert
iproute-2.6.27-2.fc10.mpls.1.963.i386.rpm<http://mpls-linux.sourceforge.net/fedora/10/i386/mpls/iproute-2.6.27-2.fc10.mpls.1.963.i386.rpm>into
.deb. After installing using dpkg, I am able to get mpls CLI working.

Although above RPM (mpls built into)are made for Fedora 10. For Debian you
need to get iproute-2.6.27.tar.gz and then apply iproute patch diff file
from mpls-1.962 patches. Then run gcc to make iproute patch with mpls. So I
have given the work around to use RPM after converting using alien.
Hope this should work.
