Hi all, I think I've found some incorrect helptexts in 2.2.19: I've compared the netlink config options for 2.2.19 with 2.4.5. 1. CONFIG_NETLINK - Enabling netlink The help in 2.4.5 seems correct to me. 2.2.19 raves about nodes under /dev with major 36. (BAD) 2. CONFIG_RTNETLINK - Route messages over netlink. 2.4.5 seems good here too. 2.2.19 tells us to create a /dev/route node. (BAD) 3. CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV - Enable support for major 36 nodes. 2.4.5 says that this option enables major 36 nodes. 2.2.19 says nothing useful at all. (BAD) CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV enables major 36 char devices for both 2.2 and 2.4, right? If that is true then I suggest that the 2.4.5-help for NETLINK is used for next 2.2-kernel. And - the help for CONFIG_RTNETLINK claims that data sent to the kernel is ignored. Is that really true? Tell me if you want a patch.
