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 ------=_NextPart_000_017E_01C2161E.F7C618E0 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; name="Gautham Ganapathy.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Gautham Ganapathy.vcf" BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:Ganapathy;Gautham FN:Gautham Ganapathy ORG:Wipro Technologies;TI PIC (DSP) TITLE:Technical Support Engg NOTE:=20 TEL;WORK;VOICE:+91-80-8520408x4271 TEL;HOME;VOICE:+91-80-6542292 TEL;CELL;VOICE:+91 9844263180 ADR;WORK;ENCODING=3DQUOTED-PRINTABLE:;;Plot No 76,=3D0D=3D0AElectronics = City,=3D0D=3D0AHosur Road;Bangalore;Karnataka;;In=3D dia LABEL;WORK;ENCODING=3DQUOTED-PRINTABLE:Plot No 76,=3D0D=3D0AElectronics = City,=3D0D=3D0AHosur Road=3D0D=3D0ABangalore, Karnataka=3D =3D0D=3D0AIndia ADR;HOME;ENCODING=3DQUOTED-PRINTABLE:;;D-26, SBI Colony,=3D0D=3D0AJ P = Nagar 1st Phase;Bangalore;Karnataka;561076;Indi=3D a LABEL;HOME;ENCODING=3DQUOTED-PRINTABLE:D-26, SBI Colony,=3D0D=3D0AJ P = Nagar 1st Phase=3D0D=3D0ABangalore, Karnataka 561076=3D =3D0D=3D0AIndia 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 ------=_NextPart_000_017E_01C2161E.F7C618E0-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
