I saw the thread/argument on a 2.0.36 patch so that you could do
external ethernet loopback with a crossover cable using crossed route
entries. The thread was dated 03/29/1999. Apparently, the patch was
rejected by Alan Cox.
Well, it turns out I'm just beating my head against this same wall.
But using kernel 2.4.0. Can't seem to get crossed routing with an
external loopback to work. I need this for a big simulation project I
am working on.
Any idea if 2.4.0 supports crossed routing between two ethernet ports
out of the box? If not, is there a patch yet for 2.4.0?
