IIRC, it was introduced in 2.4.25. Since I'm still running 2.4.22, and since I also didn't need the 2.6 module_param() stuff, I just ripped it out. > >> the BSD defines > > In the kernel part? Where?

Yeah, it was just my personal preference. That, and the fact that I don't know the build system very well, and the O_TARGET and the obj-y couldn't have the same name. So I opted to make O_TARGET simply rpl.o. Since the driver you ship in the ttyrpld tarball can only be built modular, this doesn't affect you anyway :-) > I will have 2.4 put back in. That'd be great, thanks! A great deal of people are still running 2.4 on their production servers, and no intention to upgrade anytime soon. If it's not broken... :-) Thanks for this tool, by the way, I for one find it very useful!
