kernel-2.6.27 & u32 module

sk2001 · 01-30-2011, 12:50 PM

Hi,

I am building the kernel for a MIPS processor and downloaded the kernel from kerneo.org, version 2.6.27.

I need to add module U32 into the netfilter.

In the downloaded kernel source I did not see the code for tx_u32.c. Pls let me if this code needs to be patched in? If yes, where do I find the code?

Thanks,
Sridhar

Greetingz!

Please do not post the same things to multiple sections of LQ. You posted in both "Linux Newbie" and "Linux from Scratch" about the same thing.
Take a moment to read our rules as we specifically mention this;
"Do not post the same discussion in more than one forum. Duplicate discussions can be frustrating for other members. Try and pick the most relevant forum for your post. If you are unsure put it in Linux - General."

With that being said; it seems like you're interested in the U32 "patch" to NetFilter (as described here), right?

Maybe you'll have some luck with the 2.6.33.7 (02aug10) kernel, which will require iptables 1.4.10.
Because what you seem to be looking for is in iptables 1.4.10;

Code:

luser@lhost$ head -12 ./iptables-1.4.10/extensions/libxt_u32.c
/* Shared library add-on to iptables to add u32 matching,
 * generalized matching on values found at packet offsets
 *
 * Detailed doc is in the kernel module source
 * net/netfilter/xt_u32.c
