Hi,

README.tunnel says:

   My implementation of IP tunneling for Linux consists
of two loadable module drivers, one an encapsulator (tunnel.o)
and the other a decapsulator (ipip.o).  Both are used for
setting up a working IP-in-IP tunnel.  Currently, the drivers
only support IP encapsulated in IP.

fine. I compiled the stuff as modules, no problem. Everything is easy
to understand.

But, since the first time some kernels ago I can't insmod ipip.o:

# modprobe ipip.o
ip_options_compile: wrong version or undefined
call_in_firewall: wrong version or undefined
icmp_send: wrong version or undefined
Failed to load module! The symbols from kernel 1.3.59 don't match 1.3.59

tunnel.o loads without a problem.

Any hints, fixes for 1.3.59?
Anyone really using this :) ? I've never seen any complaints.

I need the ipip stuff because raw sockets are still broken in 1.3 with
my application which implements its own tunneling (WAMPES, an ax25
ham-radio program using raw sockets for ipip/axip tunneling)

I sent Alan the patch, so I hope they'll be fixed some day, because 
WAMPES offers much more flexible encapsulating.

Olaf
