Hi,
I am using RedHat 9, and I am using the default kernel settings (ie, I
haven't rebuilt the kernel myself).
I would like to know if I have the QOS modules ( CONFIG_NET_SCH_CBQ,
CONFIG_NET_CLS_FW) installed or not.
Is there any way to find this out (to save me rebuilding the kernel
when I may not have to)?
Also, when rebuilding a kernel (you can tell I am new to kernel
stuff), what it the difference between installing a component, and
modularizing it? (ie, having a '*' or an 'M' next to the component).
Thankyou all for your help. |

.... why?

the diff is whether the component is static
to the kernel or is a module. the static
option embeds the component in the kernel,
the other is a separate module that is loaded
on demand.

Have a look at the /boot/config-<kernel version number> file

Read the documentation here (both places) but pay attention to the Red Hat
Link for 'make install'.

I need QOS so I can do some traffic shaping with tc, qdisc, and iptables.
I will also check out those links. Thanks. |
