Go to `/usr/src/lkm/ip_mroute' and say `make load' if you want to go this route. The mrouting LKM stuff was done more as a demonstration than anything else (I used the experience to help me in doing the loadable VFS support). > I've looked in the email archives but haven't found any answers; does > anyone have an idea? That code might not work at all. I have been bugging my boss to fix the configuration on some hardware here so that I can test it out, but until that happens, you may be on your own. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
