[Click] RedHat 9 kernel and CLICK

[Eddie Kohler]

Hi Charles,

> I see that Click comes with a patch for only 2.4.18 kernels.

The version of Click currently checked in to CVS contains patches for
2.4.20/21.  You could probably use that patch, and click-1.3pre1 code.
(The Click code in CVS might be a bit unstable at the moment.)

Performance *might* be sufficient, depending on whether the research lab
does a lot of networking.  But unlikely, and it would be hard to get the
kernel configuration right.  If you want to run Click as a real router, use
it in the kernel.
