net-pf-10

i'm getting the following error whenever i start mozilla-firebird: request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- net-pf-10. error = 256. due to google it's something to do with resolving adresses.

I've added the following line to /etc/modprobe.conf "alias net-pf-10 off" but I'm still getting the message. I'm using a 2.6.2 kernel.

thanks for your help

Just a shot in the dark:
Try changing the word "off" to "ipv6" in your modules.conf. According to /usr/src/linux/2.6.1/net/Kconfig:

To compile this protocol support as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called ipv6. If you try building this as a module
and you have said Y to "Kernel module loader support" above,
be sure to add 'alias net-pf-10 ipv6' to your /etc/modules.conf file.

Good luck.

Are you using a custom kernel and did you compile in ipv6 support?

zbled · 2004-02-07 23:33:13

yes, it's a custom kernel (2.6.2 with ck1 patchset) - and no, ipv6 is not in it... but it seems that mozilla firebird wants to use it...

are you all already using ipv6?

Xentac · 2004-02-08 00:22:54

No, but it's enabled in the default kernel and mozilla is built for the default kernel.

I'm going to build ipv6 as a modul... thanks for your help
