I didnt notice Danieles Mail, so i hook up in here. This is NOT a dist-related problem, but a vanilla kernel one. Since 2.6.16, dev_ioctl() is NOT exported anymore via EXPORT_SYMBOL() http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.16.y.git;a=blobdiff;h=29ba109d3e54ffaa0a93dfc7cf9b9c0539614139;hp=a5efc9ae010bb144260258c51ae7556447c5c421;hb=b5e5fa5e093e42cab4ee3d6dcbc4f450ad29a723;f=net/core/dev.c Now, my (naive) understanding was, that dev_ioctl() passes the ioctl to the next-lower layer, so i adapted a patch, which did the passing via sk_buf references. Either way, it doesnt hurt much, because if theres no ioctl hook there, itll just return ENOIOCTL, thus telling that the ioctl() was not valid. But again, thats just my naive understanding. vy 73, -- http://www.ukeer.de/about.html "Generalizations are generally wrong." --Butler Lampson _______________________________________________ Visdn-hackers mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.uli.it/mailman/listinfo/visdn-hackers
