Msg Packets..

I am having difficulty in using my “below filter” module under QNX 6.2.I see
that the message packets from IP layer are not being sent down my module is
loaded.I extract the ip addresses of the Interfaces with these packets.Any
body has any idea?

Start your stack with “external_arp” option

-xtang

I did,
Only after that i started receiving packets from the ethernet
driver.I am getting the message packets from the Ethernet driver when my
module is loaded.I am not getting the Msg packets from IP.Note that i am
getting normal packets from IP.

sigh… looks like you’re right, some of this didn’t make the release.

If you configure the interface after mounting your filter, I think
you should get it.

Sean,
You are right.I get the message packets(The only time they are sent)
if i configure the Interfaces after loading my module.But that does not
fulfil my requirements in some scenario :frowning: .I wonder at the fact that even
if i reconfigure the ip addresses after my module is loaded…I don’t get
those packets.Any idea if that problem is going to be patched soon?

regards,

This was included as part of the bind=ip (qnet) support
which is currently scheduled for the next patch. That’s
not set in stone however…
