Hi Adrian,
This is the error I get (i also posted it to the emulation list yesterday):
linux: pid 11281 (rlm.foundry): ioctl fd=3, cmd=0x8910 ('\M^I',16) is
not implemented
where rlm.foundry is the 32 bit binary compiled for RH/Centos.
I googled this and as far as I understand it now it's a
SIOCGIFNAME call from the app to the NICs. This makes
sense as it needs the MAC addresses.
It's running on FreeBSD 9.2 with linux_base-f10-10_7 installed.
I also tried FreeBSD 10 with linux-base-c6 but got the same error.
