A package containing an unfinished port of DIPC to 2.6 kernels (dipc-2.1-alpha1.tgz) can be found here: http://www.cs.uwindsor.ca/~kamran/downloads.html in the DIPC section. The user-space tools and the kernel compile, but no tests have been done. Also, due to changes in 2.6 kernels, some of the code in DIPC's shm.c code has been commented out, so the shared memory won't work for now. Any contribution in this effort is greatly appreciated. -Kamran Karimi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
