I'm not sure where you got those commands but they are wrong.

'mplsadm2 -A -l gen:16:0' should be 'mplsadm2 -A -I gen:16:0'

'mplsadm2 -A -O -0' should be 'mplsadm2 -A -O 0'

'mplsadm2 -O 0x00000000 -o push:gen:eth0:ipv4:10.70.75.2' is correct execept
you should have a non-zero key (the output from 'mplsadm2 -A -O 0')

You're not running a MPLS enabled kernel.  You MUST be running an MPLS enabled
kernel.  Compiling an MPLS enabled kernel is not enough.  You must install
and run an MPLS enabled kernel.

Look at the previous e-mail I sent.

You will be able to execute these commands without a second machine.

As soon as you're running a MPLS enabled kernel you will be able to turn on
MPLS kernel debugging (read the Debugging section at http://mpls-linux.sf.net/)

Just to make sure I am absolutly clear.  If you do not have the
files /proc/net/mpls_*, you are not running an MPLS enabled kernel.  You
need to be running an MPLS enabled kernel!
