</div>Instead of copying a whole subdirectory from a later kernel (which<br>
will likely not work), you can try to apply only the patch you need to<br>
the current version of the kernel.</blockquote><div><br>Yes, I knew this was unlikely to work.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

There are instructions on how to build a custom kernel based on the<br>
CentOS kernel but with additional patches here:<br>

I believe this is the patch you want to apply, right?<br>

are several patches actually applied in the course of this thread. <br>I'll go through it again and try to apply the same patches in the<br>same order. And there are a couple other patches that show up<br>later in the year fixing other things related to hdlc/wan. Do you know <br>
of a clever way to scan through the change logs for the relevant<br>entries?<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>
<br>
If so, the comments on the original post on that thread suggests it<br>
works on kernels up to 2.6.22, that might end up including 2.6.18 as<br>
well, so you might have luck with that...</blockquote><div><br>Yes, thank you for your reply. I'll take a whack at it.<br> <br>-- <br></div></div>-Bob<br>
