For those of you that have a Linux-box as a gateway, and who want to try
out kerneld with automagic dial-up PPP, please tell me your experiences
with this patch to the kerneld-patch(es):
--- linux/include/linux/kerneld.h.wait_route Wed Nov 1 12:00:48 1995
+++ linux/include/linux/kerneld.h Wed Nov 1 12:00:55 1995

static inline int kerneld_route(const char *ip_route)
{
return kerneld_send(KERNELD_REQUEST_ROUTE,
- 0 | KERNELD_WAIT,
+ 0 | KERNELD_NOWAIT,
strlen(ip_route), ip_route, NULL);
}
The result should be that TCP-connections will work seamlessly, but lower
level protocols (IP, ICMP, ...) will just "trigger" the connection via kerneld,
since packets will be dropped until the route is "up".
