Hey Scott,

thank you for the patch, it looks good to me so i applied it. Having a compat.h is a good idea, maybe we should use it even more to get rid of some ugly #ifdef's. :) I've tested your patch against various kernels, it seems to work until 2.6.20, but breaks for 2.6.19.

We welcome any kind of patches, so don't hesitate to submit. We can integrate them directly (like your patch) or offer them on our homepage (like the quagga patches [1]).

Thanks again, Simon

Hi there,

Not sure how you guys want patches submitted, so point me in the right direction if this is not it. Here's a simple patch that enables compilation on linux-2.6.21 (and possibly earlier, though I've tested 2.6.16 and it doesn't work).

Cheers,

Yes, I agree - I like that idea.

Correct - just send us what you have and we can directly integrate it. :-)
