I have been working towards getting vpnc runing on my SL-6000, and
I\'ve run into a show-stopper. I\'m looking for advice. The problem
I\'m having is in getting the tun.o module working.
First I set up a gcc 2.95 cross compiler that seems to work fine. I\'ve
been able to compile some simple arm apps no problem.
Then I found the embedix kernel source that matches the SL-6000 version:
linux-2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix-sl6000-20040311-rom1_11.bz2
(The only difference is that I see that my z has ROM 1.12 rather than
1.11.)
Using the kernel source I compiled the tun.o module and put it on the
zaurus. I have no problem modprobing it ... everything seems to go
fine. To generate the device files I do:
mkdir /dev/net
mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
After all this, when vpnc tries to read the device I get:
vpnc: reading `/dev/net/tun\': File descriptor in bad state
(Same problem if I just do a \"cat /dev/net/tun\")
This is the same problem I had when trying to use other tun.o modules
that did not exactly match the kernel I am running.
Does anyone have any advice for how I go about solving this? Would it have anything to do with getting the kernel configuration right?
Thanks,
Terry
