MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit User-Agent: Internet Messaging Program (IMP) 4.0-cvs X-Originating-IP: 196.40.10.252 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hello! I would like to know a few things about making the ipv4 code modular. I've been working on a school assignment that requires implementing tunneling, but first ipv4 must be modularized... it needs to be done using kernel 2.4.20 I see Eric Schenk tried to do it on an earlier kernel version ( http://www.cs-ipv6.lancs.ac.uk/ipv6/mail-archive/LinuxNetdev/1997-03/0218.html ), a few years ago. What should I consider for a start, and how hard can it be in the end? I've experienced a lot of undefined symbol references which are linked to core kernel files!, isn't there a way to access these symbols from the module into the kernel while executing? Thanks in advance Alexander Chacon
