by I am attempting to load the module "dummy0" so that I can support
multi-homing with my WEB server under Linux. I recompiled the kernel
with support for MODULES and for the DUMMY net driver. I also
reviewed and followed the instructions in the
'/usr/src/linux/README.modules' file.
After some hacking, it appears that when everything compiles, dummy.c
is compiled without the -DMODULE arguement. When I try to load the
module, I get this response.
linux# insmod -o dummy0 /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/dummy.o
(looksym) _kernel_version undefined
I thought I would try putting the -DMODULE parameter myself and
recompile. This produced a much larger object file, but the load also
failed with this response:
linux# insmod -o dummy0 /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/dummy.o
(main) _ether_setup undefined
(main) _dev_kfree_skb undefined
(main) _dev_get undefined
(main) _sprintf undefined
(main) _register_netdev undefined
(main) _printk undefined
(main) _unregister_netdev undefined
Failed to load module !
I have a directory called '/lib/modules/1.2.8/net' with these files.
Note the absence of dummy.o. I don't know if that indicates anything.

O'kay, that is about all I can say about this subject. If you have
any idea why this doesn't work for me, please help me out if you have
the time. I am getting a little frustrated because the READMEs and
docs haven't solved this problem.
If you could resond via email, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Jerry
