[LARTC] compiling kernel 2.4.20 for iproute2

[LARTC] compiling kernel 2.4.20 for iproute2

[Lucas Aimaretto]

hi there.
I've been looking around the web and found the following instructions
on how to configure the kernel sources for implementing QoS.

This page http://diffserv.sourceforge.net/#24 shows what is it
necesary to compile into the kernel to be able to shape traffic.

Everything went ok, except for the first option:

Kernel/User netlink socket (CONFIG_NETLINK)

I just could not find it.

Does anybody know what is this option about?

I've got kernel 2.4.20 and there is no such option.

So, what do I do if I want QoS?

thank you

regards

lucas

There is no such option anymore.
Just enable all options under "QoS and/or fair queueing".  You do choose to 
compile them as module or in the kernel.
