I am not sure what it is exactly that you are trying to do with this `mobile IP' thing, but I can assure you that lots of things have changed from 2.x versions of FreeBSD until it reached 4.0-RELEASE or newer. Even if you manage to apply that patch, it's more likely to simply fail when compiling because of various changes in the system headers/libraries, not to mention the kernel itself. A more reasonable thing to do would be to contact the authors of the original MOBILEIP patch and see if they have one that applies to recent FreeBSD versions. Unless, of course, you find out that in the course of things, FreeBSD has added support for what you want to do some time between the release of 2.x and 4.x versions. -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
