need help/guide to convert 2.6 module to 2.4

need help/guide to convert 2.6 module to 2.4

[George P Nychis]

Hey guys,

I found a module for the 2.6 kernel that I want to migrate for the 2.4 kernel.

It is for the XCP network protocol support, found here:
http://home.online.no/~mosebe/xcp_code.tar.gz


I also posted the code for you to look at, I am only interested in the router code:
http://rafb.net/paste/results/WSMhKW65.html

Can anyone help me convert this for the 2.4 kernel?  If not can someone please point me in the direction of a guide to do so?

Please CC me in your responses.

Thanks!
George

Why can't you just use 2.6?

Sorry, I should have been more specific

I am trying to get the code running on a router that only has the 2.4 kernel and can only support the 2.4 kernel because of the chipset on it.  It seems to compile fine with the cross compiler, however I don't know if it will actually work... if it compiles will it likely work?  I don't know the differences between the 2.6 net code and 2.4 to look at it and see if it will be compatible.
