Hi, Do UML-patches for the Linux kernel prior to 2.4.7 not exist? I can only find the precompiled "bare kernel" version of 2.4.3 .. -- Jacob Hansen. U of Copenhagen, Dept. of Computer Science e-mail : lu...@di... |

I am working on a packet-mangling module for Netfilter (actually I am extending another guys work: http://piconet.sourceforge.net/). The modules implements Ad Hoc Networking for Linux as a kernel module. For some bizarre reason, TCP connections do not work in kernels later than 2.4.3 when the module is inserted. This is why I need 2.4.3 Best regards, Jacob |

Would it not make sense to fix the module so it works with recent 2.4 kernels? No one with a gateway will be running 2.4.3, so it's somewhat redundent developing a module for it.

I know it has something to do with packet fragmentation, but I'm not sure exactly what. (I am appending a source route to each packet, thus often breaking the MTU. This is why packet fragmentation is an issue). The module is for my thesis, so it does not matter if it only works with an older kernel. Regards, Jacob -- Jacob Hansen.
