[aclug-L] Re: Can't get desired modules to be included on kernel compile

[Glenn Wiens <gwiens@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There were no gcc instructions in the source files. But going by the
document that came with this patch, the author, John Hardin, says that,
after applying the patch, just configure your kernel (with make menuconfig I
assume), selecting the following options (and then he lists a number of
them). Those options don't appear in my config session and I don't know how
to put them there.

In my out-of-the-box RedHat 2.2.16-22 kernel, all of the ip_masq_xxx (like
ip_masq_ftp and ip_masq_raudio) options are already compiled and I can load
these modules with "modprobe ip_masq_ftp".

Also, when I try to compile this file manually, it complains about missing
header files.
