Hello guys,

First of all I need remus support for a Debian 6 system (kernel 2.6.32-5 : Xen-4.1.1). Debian-customized kernels don't actually
support remus. There's a patch here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=608988 that suggests adding the support
for upcomming releases of the kernel, yet only in the wishlist.

I have downloaded jeremy's xen.git kernel:# git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git linux
Done the checkouts for 2.6.32-5 and everything seems to be perfectly fine. Remus does need some kernel configuration options
to be enabled in order to work later on, reference here: http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/Remus.

I can actually enable all of the options except one: CONFIG_NET_SCH_PLUG=m. There seems to be no such option, which is also
missing in the Debian kernel and displays the folowing error:

# remus <command stuff>
Traceback (most recent call last):
.......
      raise BufferedNICException('could not load sch_plug_module')
xen.remus.device.BufferedNICException: could not load sch_plug module
#

- Thus my question is: what options do I need to enable first to have NET_SCH_PLUG visible? Because that kernel has indeed
remus support as far as I know.

Thanks a lot!

Tony.
