[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi How can I add an extra layer of processing b/w the IP and ethernet layers using a kernel module ? If I load a module, I should be able to access the functions exported by IP and ethernet. Also, I think the ethernet layer can be configured to use my module as the protocol by patching ifconfig. Am I right so far ? So, how do I get IP to use my module as it's link layer ? If I am wrong, what's the proper way ? Or is there any other simpler way ? My requirement is to add a compression layer (RFC 2507) Regards Gautham [-- Attachment #2 --] BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:Ganapathy;Gautham FN:Gautham Ganapathy ORG:Wipro Technologies;TI PIC (DSP) TITLE:Technical Support Engg NOTE: TEL;WORK;VOICE:+91-80-8520408x4271 TEL;HOME;VOICE:+91-80-6542292 TEL;CELL;VOICE:+91 9844263180 ADR;WORK;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:;;Plot No 76,=0D=0AElectronics City,=0D=0AHosur Road;Bangalore;Karnataka;;In= dia LABEL;WORK;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Plot No 76,=0D=0AElectronics City,=0D=0AHosur Road=0D=0ABangalore, Karnataka= =0D=0AIndia ADR;HOME;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:;;D-26, SBI Colony,=0D=0AJ P Nagar 1st Phase;Bangalore;Karnataka;561076;Indi= a LABEL;HOME;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:D-26, SBI Colony,=0D=0AJ P Nagar 1st Phase=0D=0ABangalore, Karnataka 561076= =0D=0AIndia URL: URL:http://www.geocities.com/gauthamg123/ ROLE:Software Engg BDAY:20020606 EMAIL;PREF;INTERNET:xgautham@ti.com EMAIL;INTERNET:gautham.ganapathy@wipro.com EMAIL;INTERNET:gauthamg123@myrealbox.com EMAIL;INTERNET:9844263180@sms.spicetele.com REV:20020607T042149Z END:VCARD
