Compiling virtual network adapter driver problem (net_device struct)
Hi,
I found on linuxgazette.net/93/bhaskaran.html page very useful sample of virtual driver (not connected to real hardware).
I try to compile it with no effect.
So:
I got fresh Ubuntu 9.10 (kernel 2.6.31-14)
My source is saved in networkAdapter.c file in /usr/src/myModules directory.
I created Makefile too with: obj-m = networkAdapter.o content in /usr/src/myModules directory.
I try to compile with:
being in /usr/src/myModules directory.
Make -c ... output contains 3 errors:
cc -I ... output is very long and contains lots of errors.
Yes, I have made a little research and found that net_device struct is a little bit different since 2009. I am trying to fit this code to new net_device struct that is no so easy.
Have you got any samples of network drivers basic source code?
I got now:
I can compile it, but if I type 'insmod mymodule' then segmentation fault occurs. Don't know solution.
I have no idea how to make brand new code. What is more - I haven't found any tutorials containing writing network drivers based on new net_structure. All of them are old. That is the purpose to searching on unix.com forum for help.
