Hi all //help with loopback driver ?


Hi all!

My name is Adela ( that's right I am a girl ).

Can any one of you Linux users please help me by mailing me their loopback driver? All I know is that it is located at drivers/net/loopback.c

This should be the default location for every distribution. I want to decompile it and play with it.
I have never run Linux in my life or worked with it, so don't ask me questions please.
If you help me, I will be very happy and I will write you a poem or sing you a song

Rule 16

If you want to look at the code of the loopback.c file then you can just go here:

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/ker...net/loopback.c

No reason to email it.

A lot of people are.

It's the default location for every distribution because this module is part of the Linux Kernel. You can download that here: kernel.org. Decompress, navigate to drivers/net/.

Just a tip, I wouldn't publish your email address in a public forum unless you're prepared for a mountain of spam.

Welcome to the forums Adela! Szboardstretcher has sent you a valid link for the C source.

Well at the risk of asking questions, why haven't you run Linux, especially considering that you wish to compile (not decompile since that is not a valid concept) one of the files from the kernel? Note that it is not as simple as obtaining just that one file in order to compile. You may wish to visit kernel.org to download a kernel and the drivers, thus containing loopback.c, as well as all the other support files.

Enjoy! And once again, welcome to LQ!
