Its called EQL ... all you have to do is include it in your kernel,
the latest ones .. since 2.0.0? or something have it ..
also take a look at : /usr/src/linux-2.0.0/drivers/net/README.eql
You should have that file somewhere .. dont worry about the "patching the
kernel" bit .. just look at the rest of the file..
It takes some time to setup and get going .. but once you write the scripts,
fix the config files to run eql .. you dont have to touch anything from then
on =)
Good luck ..
