How do I apply the Candela Linux Kernel Patch and build the kernel?
To enable the Armageddon accellerated packet generator, MAC-VLAN virtual interfaces, and several other neat features that LANforge can use if present, you must patch the Linux kernel, compile it, and install it. These directions assume you are using RedHat 9 or higher, but most of the steps will be identical on other Linux distributions as well. Please note that the LANforge-ICE kernel module is NOT included in the patch and is proprietary code. You will have to use a pre-built LANforge kernel to use kernel-mode ICE. If you are skilled at these things, you can use our patch and build a kernel that can load the wanlink module found in our pre-compiled kernels. You can also download pre-compiled LANforge Linux kernels here • First, download the linux kernel from www.kernel.org As of this writing, the correct kernel is 2.4.29 for distributions with the 2.4 kernel, and version 2.6.13 for newer distributions like Fedora Core 2.
