[Xorp-users] Xorp + Kernel Click on Linux -- Does this work for anyone in recent code?

[Tom Gibson]

Hi Pavlin,

That's unfortunate.  I'll gather some more details and then look at 
submitting a Bugzilla entry.  I may try debugging the code and seeing if 
I can get a patch possibly.

I was looking before at possibly using an old Xorp and Click version.  
It's a pain having to go back to such an old Kernel version though (to 
support the Kernel Click patches).

I'll post another reply when I have an update.

Thanks,

Tom
