Hi,

I have downloaded a mobile ip program called dynamic mobile ip ( version 0.8.1 ) from:
http://dynamics.sourceforge.net/

There is a part from README file of dynamic mobile ip as below:

Following Linux kernel compile time options are needed to make a
compatible kernel:

- Loadable module support (if ipip tunneling is used as a module)
- Networking options (in addition to the default selections):
Packet socket (CONFIG_PACKET)
Kernel/User netlink socket (CONFIG_NETLINK)
Routing messages (CONFIG_RTNETLINK)
IP: Socket Filtering (CONFIG_FILTER)
IP: tunneling (CONFIG_NET_IPIP)
- In addition the following options are needed for Foreign Agents:
IP: advanced router (CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER)
IP: policy routing (CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES)
- Additional options for the wireless extensions for MN:
Wireless LAN (non-hamradio) (CONFIG_NET_RADIO)


Then i follow the command you given to me to check it as below:

[root@localhost ~]# cat /boot/config-$(uname -r) | grep CONFIG_PACKET
CONFIG_PACKET=y
CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP=y

[root@localhost ~]# cat /boot/config-$(uname -r) | grep CONFIG_NETLINK
[root@localhost ~]# cat /boot/config-$(uname -r) | grep CONFIG_RTNETLINK
[root@localhost ~]# cat /boot/config-$(uname -r) | grep CONFIG_FILTER

[root@localhost ~]# cat /boot/config-$(uname -r) | grep CONFIG_NET_IPIP
CONFIG_NET_IPIP=m

[root@localhost ~]# cat /boot/config-$(uname -r) | grep CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER
CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER=y

[root@localhost ~]# cat /boot/config-$(uname -r) | grep CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES
CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES=y

[root@localhost ~]# cat /boot/config-$(uname -r) | grep CONFIG_NET_RADIO
CONFIG_NET_RADIO=y


From the above, only CONFIG_NETLINK, CONFIG_RTNETLINK, and CONFIG_FILTER
do not have any response. Is it mean it the 3 modules do not loaded ??
If i want to load the module, may i know how to do it ???


Please reply me if you know it,Thanks.

Based on your information, I believe that means the items that are 'm' are modules, the items that are 'y' are compiled into the kernel, and the other 3 are neither.
My next guess as to what to do, is to run xconfig or menuconfig, the kernel-compiler interface, and select the 3 items you need, and compile the modules.
Hope this helps you

Hi Grapefruit Girl,

To run xconfig or menuconfig, is it just straight type it in terminal ??

Is that can you tell me more details how to compile it ? Because i never compile anything before to kernel and i still new to linux.

Yup, here's a bit more detail:
You need the sourcecode for your kernel, first, as well as the .config file that goes along with it. The .config file, if nowhere else, will be found in the /proc directory, called config.gz or something very similar. Copy & extract that file into the folder where your kernel source is. Then navigate to the sourcecode directory, open a console and type 'make xconfig'. You will now have a large menu of kernel options to choose from.
If all you need are those new modules, then locate them in the networking section somewhere, activate them as <M> for modules (or maybe a [.] for modules in xconfig) , and click the diskette picture up top to save the configuration.
Exit xconfig.
Type 'make modules && make modules_install'
Done! That should be all that is required to simply make those modules.
There is a lot more info about kernel compiling procedures; just search for it. The kernel source should also come with a README file.

May I know what do you mean the sourcecode for the kernel ?

Currently my kernel is kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.stk16.

i got kernel source file for kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.stk16.src.rpm, is it this you mean ??

Yes, that sounds like the source package, but you should check with another user who uses FC4 and RPM files. My system doesn't use either of them, and I don't know much about Fedora.
If you have difficulties compiling the kernel, there are lots of tutorials, including the README usually included with the source, as well as loads of info here on LQ already.
Also, for Fedora specifics, try asking in the Fedora forum.

Hi Grapefruit Girl,

I cannot find CONFIG_NETLINK,CONFIG_RTNETLINK, and CONFIG_FILTER after i type "make menuconfig".

May i know is that possible that these 3 CONFIG_NETLINK,CONFIG_RTNETLINK, and CONFIG_FILTER are only avaiable in kernel 2.4.X ??

Is that can you check your kernel whether got these 3 options under networking ??
Currently i am using fedora core 4, kernel 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.stk16


Please help me if you know it.

Thanks

Hi!

I'm trying use Dynamics Mobile IP for a project but have same difficulties.

Someone have already found a solution?

Frankly speaking that i have forgot everything with what i have been done since it has been 2 years plus.
My suggestion for you is don't use the Dynamic HUT for the testing, because it is an old software and you need to change a lot of source code in order to run it in the kernel options.

I have solved the problem but the Dynamics HUT doesn't able to perform well, so i changed to use OLSR

Unfortunately I really need to use...

Now your problem is you cannot install Mobile IP HUT into your fedora?
Can you please check in online because i remember someone posted his solution to solve it.

I believe you still can find the solution, previously i use up to 1 month to solve it... by following the person's solution.
You might need more time to find how people solve it in any linux forum
