Also my kernel has all the parameters enabled for QoS support.I tried compiling iproute2 from source but im not able to since im getting errors while compiling.Can neone throw some light on this.Or is it that there are some compatibility problems with the newer 2.6 kernels. > Im sorry for the long content of the mail.But im a newbie and want to get my thoughts rite > on this and whether its possible.Thanx a million in advance. > regards > vinay Tcng depends on tclsim as part of the build process but it doesn't seem to build on 2.6. > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?
