Hi there,

I need to add such support.
How would you recommend me adding such support?

Is there a patch I could use?

Thanks

There is a series of patches on ftp.kernel.org that you can use to
update from 2.6.16 to 3.12 or any version in between. :-)

Seriously, this list does not deal with development on such old kernel
versions.

Thanks. I will take a look.
The problem is that I can't upgrade.
I know its too old but this is the one I'm stuck with.

Do you think I could find only the patch I'm looking for?

I just need that feature.

Sorry, this is an absolutely unreasonable expectation, changes of this
nature and size are intermingled with thousands of cleanups, data
structure restructuring, and code restructuring.

First, 2.6.16 is 8 years old.
Second, by now there are 100's of known vulnerabilities; such a system
 would be a sitting duck for remote exploitation.
Third, multiple route tables in Linux was implemented much earlier
 than that, back in the 2.4 development. It is probably in the 2.6.16
 kernel. Most likely the vendor config or tools you have are broken
 and don't allow access to it.

I know that this kernel is way too long but this is something that I
can't change.
It is not up to me to decide on kernel upgrade.

I was talking about IPv6 multiple route tables.
This is something that was added later in:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=c71099acce933455123ee505cc75964610a209ad
I've posted this thread to help me finding this patch:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/41149

I could not find it anywhere, the link for the git changeset is broken.

I would appreciate any help with this one.

Thanks

Hi,

It does look promising, are there any other related patches?
I need such support with netlink to be able to use netlink to
configure the kernel.

I applied the patch you were referring to, but I think I am missing
some higher level code with netlink.

Does anyone know where I can find this patch:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/41149

the link is broken, I've sent Thomas an email but did not get any response.
