They are interface names, that and that only, compare them to ethernet devices, they are called ethX. > can modprobe or insmod know that snull.o is snull? (or > am i getting the wrong idea here?) Modprobe is the best to use as it is more intelligent, i suggest you read the manual page for modprobe. Basicly modprobe looks in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ for modules, now that suggests there is somthing wrong with your system IF everything is like you say below. > > planning to do the following: > > cd /to/snull/dir > > modprobe snull > > ifconfig sn0 10.1.2.11 up > > ifconfig sn1 10.1.2.12 up > > route add -net 10.1.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 sn0 > > route add -net 10.1.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 sn1 > > and the result: > ---> cd /lib/modules/2.4.18-sh/misc > ls > snull.o > modprobe snull > modprobe: Can't locate module snull This can be cause by at least 3 main factors, 1) You have not run 'depmod -a' 2) Your kernel is not called 2.4.18-sh 3) Your not root. > (i supposed that i cant continue from here, but > just tried) > ifconfig sn0 101.11.21.111 up > SIOCSIFADDR: No such device > sn0: unknown interface: No such device > sn0: unknown interface: No such device > ifconfig sn1 101.11.21.121 up > SIOCSIFADDR: No such device > sn1: unknown interface: No such device > sn1: unknown interface: No such device > route add -net 101.11.21.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 > sn0 > SIOCADDRT: No such device > route add -net 101.11.21.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 > sn1 > SIOCADDRT: No such device You told me in a previous mail that you could load the module right.?

There should be nothing wrong with sn0 or sn1, you said the module compiled, i suggest you do the following to see once again if all is well. su - enter passwd for root. (and press enter of course) cd /path/to/ldd2-samples-1.0.1/snull insmod snull ifconfig sn0 10.11.21.111 up ifconfig sn1 10.11.21.121 up That works here and "should work there as well". > am i doing something wrong in here? With all due respect, it certainly looks like it. Now a few questions here, 1) What is the output of the command uname -r 2) What do you whant to use snull for.? 3) What distro are you using. 4) Again with all due respect, if one needs so much basic help to get something like this to work then surely one would not even know what to use them for would one, now i hope i am wrong on that one.
