MAC address instead of IP

2005-03-14 Thread Donald Duckie
Hi!

I am looking for some sample codes which uses MAC
address instead of TCP-IP for data transmission. Any
suggestions are highly appreciated.

And also, I have been digging into ethertap.c and
netlink_dev.c, but I cant fully understand how these
codes work. Where can I see some detailed explanations
of these source codes? What I usually see in a search
are compilation error problems and the like.

Thank you very much for any kind of information.


Regards.

ethertap.c compilation problem

2005-02-28 Thread Donald Duckie
Hi!

I tried cross-compiling ethertap.c with
linux-sh-2.4.18, but can not successfully make it.

TOPDIR was set as /usr/src/linux-sh-2.4.18
CROSS_COMPILE   =sh4-linux-
CC  = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc

the compilation errors are:
--
[EMAIL PROTECTED] net]$ pwd
/usr/src/linux-sh-2.4.18/drivers/net
[EMAIL PROTECTED] net]$ make
make all_targets
make[1]: Entering directory

`/usr/src/linux-sh-2.4.18/drivers/net'

what could be the possible problem in here?

basing on this compile log, i am expecting that: 
(for example)
/usr/include/asm/system.h
to be
/usr/src/linux-sh-2.4.18/include/asm/system.h

I know that there is no need to touch the Makefiles,
Rules.make for this, but I also tried replacing all
$(TOPDIR) to /usr/src/linux-sh-2.4.18.
The result was still the same.

I already ran make dep, make clean, and still got the
same result.

And also to my surprise, 
/usr/src/linux -> linux-sh-2.4.18
/usr/src/linux-sh-2.4.18
doing a : 
cd linux
would result to:
/usr/src/linux   instead of   /usr/src/linux-sh-2.4.18
has anyone experienced this?
if so, can this be explained as to why this is the
result?

hoping for some insights on how to proceed with my
compilation problem.


thank you.
donald
