Hi,

I'm a final year student in the University of Limerick, Ireland.  Part of my
final year project requires me to develop a kernel module which provides an
network interface for other modules on the system.  I have found getting
exact information quite difficult, with my main source being the socket.c
file.  I'm having major problems with the communication and my deadline is
coming agonisingly close.  

I'm running the 2.2.16 kernel on an intel and at the moment I'm trying to
get a server to accept a connection and receive a few characters from it.
The server accepts a telnet connection and gets the name of the connecting
session however when I try to do a sock->ops->recvmsg i get a efault.

I was led to believe by someone that I may be able to get some help from
here.  Is there any sample code that you can give me, or places I can go to
get examples, that you know of?  I don't really know who to turn to for help
on this one, there's no one in my college that has enough knowledge of the
network implementation in the kernel to help me.

Sincerely,
Eoin Ryan.
