Hi list,
I can successfully build the driver modules; hdlc, dlci, syncppp, and lmc from the 2.6.18-128.1.14 kernel source rpm, and have managed to create a 'wan kmod' rpm. It all works fine for IPv4, but now I need IPv6 for ppp connections, which doesn't work for me.
I think I'll need to back port Krzysztof Halasa's 'ppp for generic hdlc' patches to the 2.6.18-128.1.14.el5 kernel sources.
Has anyone worked on this? I have tried simply overwriting the drivers/net/wan directory with corresponding directory from more recent (2.6.25.20, 2.6.30) vanilla kernel source, but I get errors:
CC [M] drivers/net/wan/hdlc.o drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c:39:31: error: net/net_namespace.h: No such file or directory drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c: In function ‘hdlc_rcv’: drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c:69: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c:71: error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘nd_net’ drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c:71: error: ‘init_net’ undeclared (first use in this function) drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c:71: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c:71: error: for each function it appears in.) drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c:76: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c:77: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c: In function ‘hdlc_proto_start’: drivers/net/wan/hdlc.c:85: error: invalid type argument of ‘->’ ... and so on.
Where is the best starting point for getting these changes back-ported. I guess I need post-'ppp for generic hdlc' but pre-'net-namespace'. Is this possible?
Thanks for any help/advice.
