Hi guys.

I want to invoke getenv in dev.c under net/core/, when compile I got the error msgs below. Seems the main problem is " linking PIC files with non-PIC files" . Anyone has idea about that ?? Thank you in advance!

It's a friendly reminder that you can't link libc functions into the kernel (Userspace is PIC while kernel is non-PIC on mips[el]).

Thank you very much~~

Is it possible that I find, or compile a non-PIC libc.a, then link it?

Realy need your help

Hello,

  I am looking for linksys-wlconf.tar.gz. Can anyone tell me where i can find the same.

Thanx vanathi
