[Openswan Users] Klips patch

[ted leslie]

ok i have the following,
kernel 2.6.14  stock

openswan Klips patch  2.4.5rc4  and openswan 2.4.5rc4

THE PATCH applied and it compiled fine!!!!

but when i compiled openswan packages after dealing with the kernel .... i got ...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  CC [M]  /root/openswan-2.4.5rc4/modobj26/ipcomp.s
/root/openswan-2.4.5rc4/modobj26/ipcomp.c: In function ‘skb_copy_ipcomp’:
/root/openswan-2.4.5rc4/modobj26/ipcomp.c:677: error: ‘struct sk_buff’ has no member named ‘private’
/root/openswan-2.4.5rc4/modobj26/ipcomp.c:677: error: ‘struct sk_buff’ has no member named ‘private’
make[3]: *** [/root/openswan-2.4.5rc4/modobj26/ipcomp.s] Error 1
make[2]: *** [_module_/root/openswan-2.4.5rc4/modobj26] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.14'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

the error points to this ...

#ifdef CONFIG_HIPPI
       // n->private.ifield=skb->private.ifield;
#endif /* CONFIG_HIPPI */

I commented out the  code line, and recompiled and it worked!!!
so my question is, .. what is HIPPI ?? and do i need it? what does HIPPI do,
if its a feature i dont use, then i can just continue on.

aside from this,  linux 2.6.14 and 2.4.5rc4 is looking like a pretty good fit
