Great! This, of course, only leads to more questions.
The existing docs are out of date with respect to newer kernels and newer
versions of MoL. For example, sheep_net isn't mentioned in these docs.
Could you describe
1) how you build your 2.4 kernel to use sheep_net
2) how you set up masquerading on a 2.4 kernel (iptables?)
3) anything extra you had to do
4) anything published you didn't have to do
I realize this is a lot to ask, as your answer may well be the reference
doc for setting up MoL networking on a 2.4 system, but I can imagine there
are many out there who would appreciate the effort as much as I do. Many
thanks.
