Install Link layer topology discovery (LLTD) protocol responder for Vista/Windows 7
October 09, 2010 06:32PM
If you like to see your Dockstar in the Windows 7 "Netzwerkuebersicht" (Network Map? The place where not only SMB machines are shown, but also routers and switches), you can easily install the required LLTD protocol responder (credits go to http://neverfear.org/blog/view/31/Installing_the_link_layer_topology_discovery_LLTD_protocol_responder_on_Debian_Linux):

	apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential
	mkdir /usr/local/lltd
	cd /usr/local/lltd
	wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/8/e/b8eee444-f8d5-4b8b-aa3d-2f19bf19ac72/Rally-LLTD-PortingKit.exe
	unzip Rally-LLTD-PortingKit.exe
	cd "Sample Code/native-linux/"
	echo "#include <linux/if.h>" >> /usr/include/linux/wireless.h
	echo "#include <limits.h>" >> ../src/globals.h # Make sure INT_MAX is available
	make
	cp lld2d /usr/sbin/
	cd /etc/init.d/
	wget -O lld2d http://neverfear.org/files/download/81 # The lld2d init script
	./lld2d start # testweise
	update-rc.d lld2d defaults # automatischen Start definieren

If you don't like the default icon (a router with antenna) get your own (must be 48x48 px) like this:

	cp "/usr/local/lltd/Sample Code/src/lld2d.conf" /etc
	nano /etc/lld2d.conf
		icon = /etc/server.ico
		jumbo-icon = /etc/server.ico
	/etc/init.d/lld2d restart

Regards,
Heinz
