LARTC - Jul 2002 - Ingress - No such file or directory

Hi all,

(My apologies if this appears to be a repost - my mail yesterday does not
appear to have got to the list.)

I am attempting to implement the SYN flood protection scheme as presented in
LARTC.  Unfortunately, when I attempt `tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff:
ingress` I get the error:

RTNETLINK answers: No such file or directory

I have seen this referenced several times on this mailing list, but I appear
to have a seperate set of circumstances.  I am using a kernal 2.4.18 with
Ingress as a module (sch_ingress.o exists in the location
/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/net/sched), and am able to load it with insmod
and remove it with rmmod.

Regardless of the state of the sch_ingress.o module, I get the same error.
Perhaps someone can point me in the correct direction?

TIA

Best regards,

A. Peter Mee

If you get an error in the last two lines of the script, try this version of
iproute instead:
ftp://ftp.inr.ac.ru/ip-routing/iproute2-2.4.7-now-ss010824.tar.gz. (local
mirror) 

Regards,
