Some set-top box manufacturers do not supply new drivers for their hardware, and in that case it is not even possible to upgrade the kernel or system libraries, because in that case they are incompatible with the old hardware drivers supplied by the set-top box manufacturer.Īs a result, this means that for some set-top boxes, due to the impossibility of upgrading the kernel and system libraries, and due to the manufacturers ignoring their devices, it is not at all easy to compile a new version of ZeroTier, which already requires new or different system libraries (and often also mentioned Linux kernel). Since it is a system virtual network card driver (VPN network), it is directly dependent on the system libraries and thus also on the version of the Linux kernel.Īnother problem related to this is the supply of drivers directly from the device manufacturer. Simply put, there can be a lot of dependencies on specific versions of system libraries.
