[mpls-linux-devel] Hi, the mpls command doesn't work after patch the kernel and install the iproute/iptables/ebtable

[Peng <jia...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to using the mpls on my ubuntu box. I followed the instruction on


http://ontwerpen1.khlim.be/~lrutten/cursussen/comm2/mpls-linux-docs/index.html

but with the kernel version of 2.6.35 and
linux-kernel-v2.6.35.13-mpls1.980.patch,

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>

ebtables-2.0.8-5.fc10.mpls.1.963.i386.rpm<http://mpls-linux.sourceforge.net/fedora/10/i386/mpls/ebtables-2.0.8-5.fc10.mpls.1.963.i386.rpm>

iptables-1.4.1.1-2.fc10.mpls.1.963.i386.rpm<http://mpls-linux.sourceforge.net/fedora/10/i386/mpls/iptables-1.4.1.1-2.fc10.mpls.1.963.i386.rpm>

after the patch the kernel, and installed the aliened iproute iptable and
ebtable.

when I used the .deb aliened from corresponding .rpm packages

root@peng-MacBookPro:~# mpls hnhlfe add key 0 instaructions push gen 1000
nexthop   eth0 ipv4 10.0.0.3
NHLFE entry key 0x00000002 mtu 0 propagate_ttl
 (0 bytes, 0 pkts)

ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 via 10.0.0.3 mpls 0x2

it crashes my laptop right away, the whole screen froze and I cannot do
anything

The the kernel and patch method I'm using:

Linux peng-MacBookPro 2.6.35.13 #1 SMP Thu Aug 4 23:41:12 EDT 2011 i686
GNU/Linux

root@peng-MacBookPro:/usr/src/
linux-2.6.35.13# patch -p1 <
/usr/src/linux-2.6.35.13/linux-kernel-v2.6.35.13-mpls1.980.patch

and the methods I installed the iproute iptable and ebtable are:

I'm wondering why I cannot use a simple function of this opensource project
command, is there some command issue?
maybe the command format introduced in the docs are outdated?
or I didn't install the iproute/iptables package correctly?

Has someone here successfully patched the kernel and installed the package
on ubuntu?

if ubuntu is not a good choice for this project's packages.

What OS you guys usually use?

Many thanks!
