Since you can't download the whole kernel, you should upgrade your kernel
this way:
Install RedHat source kernel rpm:
rpm -ihv kernel-2.4.7-10.src.rpm
Extract kernel source:
cd /usr/src
tar jxvf /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/linux-2.4.7.tar.bz2
Upgrade kernel:
cd linux
gzip -dc patch-2.4.18.gz | patch -p1
(it's normal if some files has it's patch reject due it has *been*
patched)
Patch with bridge-nf-0.0.6-against-2.4.18.diff:
patch -p1 < bridge-nf-0.0.6-against-2.4.18.diff
Voil�! :-) It's done. Now compile your kernel normally. Do not forget to
choose "Prompt for development code", "Firewalling SupporT", "Bridge"
and "Netfilter support for bridging" (or some thing like this, I do not
remember exactly now).
Hope could help.
bests regards
