[Jool-list] jool error: Jool's socket family doesn't seem to exist.

[Nico Schottelius]

Hello,

when trying to use jool on Linux 5.4.5 I get the following error:

[12:59] router1.place6:~# modprobe jool
[12:59] router1.place6:~# jool instance add --netfilter --pool6 2a0a:e5c0:2:10::/96
Jool's socket family doesn't seem to exist.
(This probably means Jool hasn't been modprobed.)
Netlink error message: 'Object not found' (Code -12)
[12:59] router1.place6:~# lsmod | grep jool

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in newer kernels?

Best,

Nico
