Before compile my kernel, I read the documentation and i saw that is recommended to keep the following options in kernel config file: CONFIG_NETLINK and CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV Beginning with kernel-2.4.17, the option Kernel/User netlink socket (CONFIG_NETLINK) is MISSING, and present is ONLY the second option: Netlink device emulation (CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV) Can anybody tell me with what option has been replaced this option? Can ignore this missing feature? Best Regards, Iulian
