FEC CONFIG_FEC_PACKETHOOK option?

FEC CONFIG_FEC_PACKETHOOK option?

[Michael Fischer]

Hello,
just looked into the 8xx fec.c sources of 2.4.18 tree and discovered there
is a CONFIG_FEC_PACKETHOOK option. Couldnt find any further information
about it, not even the included linux/pkthook.h file. Has anyone more
information what this is for? Is this outdated, not finished yet...?

Thanks for any information,
Best regrads, Michael

Throw it away, please!

It was a hack done by people on my department when I was working
on Ericsson here in Sweden. We used it to capture packets and
forward them to a closed-source module where further processing
was made. The option should have been removed a long time ago.

I'm pretty confused about all sources and everything, if someone
would point me to what sources are affected, then I will make
some patches.

Thanks /
