1. Although there no responses to my query re: dummy drivers, I was
finally able to locate some documentation to get one configured, as
follows:
dummy0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:29 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0
[note the transmitted packets - these presumably come from my MOL
testing]
2. I added a route:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 dummy0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 dummy0
tcp under mol is configured to use address 192.168.1.2, with router
192.168.1.1 (and the same dns as linux uses).
3. I added a masquerade rule in iptables
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
[I'm much more familiar with ipchains masquerading, so it's quite
possible this iptables rule is wrong]
4. I configured netdev in molrc to be dummy0
5. I recompiled the mol-0.9.55-1 src.rpm for the 2.4.1 kernel
It doesn't work, either with dummy or with ethertap. Does anyone at
all have anything like a recommendation? Has anyone at all actually
gotten the dummy driver (or the obsolete ethertap driver) to work in
2.4.1? Or am I wasting my time even trying?
