not sure what u r trying to achieve by "binding" a "socket" inside a kernel module.. what i understand is that when u send a packet from an application, u might already be using some socket which is bound...right?? u can get reference to that socket in sk_buff structure...... Hope this helps... :-) Avni -----Original Message----- From: linux-net-owner@vger.kernel.org [mailto:linux-net-owner@vger.kernel.org]On Behalf Of Vasu Sent: Sunday, 5 May 2002 9:36 AM To: Will Lowe Cc: 'linux-net' Subject: Re: strtol function ok, thanks a lot :) One more query.. can't I directly call sys_bind from a module ? Do I have to write some new bind function, if I want to bind some socket to some Internet address ? Regards, Vasu.
