Hello All,
I'm trying to use SCTP with SuSE10.2 however when I try to run my application, the sctp kernel module does not load by itself. I even tried 'modprobe -a sctp' and 'insmod sctp' yet, it fails to load. I examined the dmesg output and figured that the sctp module was dependent upon the ipv6 module. So I manually loaded it myself, then loaded the sctp kernel module and voila, it loaded just fine.
However, is there a better way to do this? I always thought that it would be loaded by itself but apparantly that is not the case. Am I missing something on 'modprobe -a' ? I figured it should load everything sctp needs but I had to load ipv6 manually.
For now, I am loading everything manually, but is there a better automated way?
Thanks for your advice/pointers,
I think you disabled IPv6 in YaST during installation, so the IPv6 module is not longer allow to load automaticly. You can enable it via the YaST network card setup in the Advanced dialog. -- Karsten Keil SuSE Labs ISDN and VOIP development SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr.5 90409 Nuernberg, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
