Re: [mpls-linux-general] problem compiling mpls-linux-1.170

You will need to hand patch the contents from net/netsysms.c.rej into
net/netsysms.c

Of course you could always just get 2.4.19 and it will patch clean.

I guess the VLAN code wasn't added to the 2.4 kernel until after 2.4.13.
I think the easiest thing for you to do is get the 2.4.19 kernel source and
patch that.
