Hi ,
I am trying to compile AODV source code which is written for 2.4 Kernel.Now i am trying to port it to 2.6.15 (fedora 5.0 )kernel. I am getting these probem.

1. skb->nfcache |= NFC_ALTERED
But in 2.6 sk_buff doesn't have nfcache. I have commented this for compiltaion .How to add this

2. struct socket *sock;
sock->sk->broadcast=1;
sock->sk->protinfo.af_inet.ttl=ttl;
But in 2.6 struct sock is not having the broadcast and the protinfo is converted to void* in 2.6. How can i specify the ttl value. I have commented this for compilation. How to include htis

3. nf_register_queue_handler(PF_INET, recvFn , data);
I converted it to
struct nf_queue_handler *qh;
qh = kmalloc(sizeof(qh),GFP_KERNEL);
qh->data = data;
qh->outfn = recvfn;
qh->name = name; // I don't know what is the use of the Func????.
// I just filled it by a string.
status = nf_register_queue_handler(PF_INET,qh);
Is it right???

4. The receive Function has a parameter queuenum. What is the use of this.How to use this . I just left it as it is

5. And when i am trying to send a broadcast messgae using sock_sendmsg,it is failing continuously .And I am getting a -13 as the return value. What will be the problem.

Any help will be much helpfull for me

Hi,
I am facing the same problem. I noticed that there are many more changes required to make the code compile. Just wanted to ask you, if you finally managed to figure out the nf_register_queue problem and if that works?

----------------
nf_register_queue_handler(PF_INET, recvFn , data);
I converted it to
struct nf_queue_handler *qh;
qh = kmalloc(sizeof(qh),GFP_KERNEL);
qh->data = data;
qh->outfn = recvfn;
qh->name = name; // I don't know what is the use of the Func????.
// I just filled it by a string.
status = nf_register_queue_handler(PF_INET,qh);
Is it right???
-----------------

My kernel hangs with some error message in __nf_queue showing up in the call trace. Could you let me know if you figured out the correct answer for this problem?

hi,

I have see this problem when i try to install aodv 0.9.3 in fedora core 2,
but aodv 0.9 or below versions can compile and run successfully in fedora core 2, but problem is the gateway mode is not working in 0.9, its only working from 0.9.3, iam also trying to install 0.9.3 in fedora core 2.
