[Click] Redhat 9.0 Kernel Mode Click Router Working - Config file ?

[Eddie Kohler]

Pedro,

This config:

is unlikely to work, because it treats all packets as IP packets.  This  
doesn't work; it breaks ARP, for example.

I'd suggest adding Prints to this config, and to the result of  
make-ip-conf.pl, to make sure that you're receiving packets as  
expected.

Finally, where are the Queues?  I'd expect this config to fail in  
kernel mode, because ToDevice is exclusively pull.
