I got the kernel mode module to compile by including /usr/src/linux/include/linux/in.h and /usr/src/linux/include/linux/net.h
It is a modified version of the RTnet 0.8.3 "raw-packets.c" example. The module periodically transmits, and continuously receives LAN packets. The modified version uses (sin_family=AF_INET), where the old one used (sll_family=PF_PACKET). I also added a socket - one is used for Rx, while the other is used for Tx. When I load the module, both rt_dev_recv() and rt_dev_sendmsg() return error code -38. My question is basically - what is this error code? I am not too sure where to look. --======-- I have attached the source code. The output when loading the module is: --- Begin output --- Tx local port: 1 Tx server IP: 10.0.0.2 Tx server port: 2 Tx rt_dev_socket() result: 0 Tx rt_dev_bind() result: 0 Tx rt_dev_connect() result: 0 Rx local port: 2 Rx rt_dev_socket() result: 1 Rx rt_dev_bind() result: 0 rt_dev_recv() = -38 Sending message of 40 bytes rt_dev_sendmsg() = -38! Sending message of 40 bytes rt_dev_sendmsg() = -38! Sending message of 40 bytes rt_dev_sendmsg() = -38! --- End output --- Both nodes' output are the same (excluding the IP adresses, of course).

Look out for the related kernel header instead, e.g. lxr.free-electrons.com can help in those cases (http://lxr.free-electrons.com/ident?i=sockaddr_in) > netinet/in.h.

It would have saved me a lot of sweat, tears and swearwords) I do understand. Let me explain: We used to have almost only kernel-space examples in older versions (LXRT was not usable that days). Those got outdated and I also wanted to push more useful user-space examples in, specifically to direct more commercial users on a sane path. You may know, there exist quite strong opinions about non-GPL kernel space modules: "Closed source Linux kernel modules are illegal" (Greg Kroah-Hartman, kernel developer). We now have a few Xenomai module examples again. But regarding RTAI you have to note that it is only "passively" supported since development and testing of RTnet completely switched to Xenomai last year. I typically run a simple compile test before release, but RTAI-specific contributions like examples depend on the RTAI users. So, if you want to share your code with others, you are welcome! Given your code is in reasonable shape, I will definitely merge it.
