Thanks. Looks like there is a lot more information out there now than when I was first working on this more than a year ago.
I have working code, I just need to get it working on a 2.4 kernel. Thanks to Mike's suggestion, I've got Damn Small Linux up in a VM and it's got a 2.4.31 kernel. It has been a real pain to work with so far though. My VM is Parallels and getting the P Tools to build on DSL has so far eluded me.

I know 802.1q is in the latest 2.4.37.9 kernel. http://blinkenlights.nl/software/ladvd/ looks to be another demon if lldpd will not work on 2.4. -mmiler On Sat, Jun 5, 2010 at 6:24 PM, Bob Carlson <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm trying to help some engineers get a LLDP client running on an embedded > 2.4 kernel.
