Hi,

I am trying to configure my Kernel to support IPsec. I wish to use OpenSwan, which I have already emerged.
I am using Genkernel, and the kernel version is 2.6.12.5.

My problem is that I need to enable IP tunnel transformation, but as you can see there is a "---" next to this. I have had a look and can't work out what this means. I know I shouldn't make assumptions, but is it something to do with the fact the module might not exist on my system?

Any tips gratefully received!
Thanks in advance.

Hi!

Disable (or select only as a module)
Code:
IPComp transformation
And there you go :wink:
