If you want to compile it as a module, say MM > here and read Documentation/modules.txt I'm going to assume that the cls_tcindex.o in the second entry is a cut'n'paste error and should read sch_ingress.o. Should the CLS_POLICE entry, then, read like this? Traffic policing (needed for in/egress) CONFIG_NET_CLS_POLICE Say Y to support traffic policing (bandwidth limits). Needed for ingress and egress rate limiting. -- Eric S.
