I figured it out.

In the kernel boot command I have to pass the ankh_shm param to the
l4ankh driver/module (like this: l4ankh.ankh_shm=shm). Following is my
kernel boot command.

-----------------------
loader:start(
  { caps = {
      log = L4.Env.log:m("rws"),
      vbus = vbus_l4linux;
      rtc = rtc_caps.rtc;
      
      shm = ankh_shm:m("rws");
      ankh = ankh_clnt:create(0,
"debug,promisc,device=eth0,shm=shm,bufsize=16384,phys_mac"); 
    },
    l4re_dbg = L4.Dbg.Warn,
    log = { "l4linux", "yellow" },
  },
  "rom/vmlinuz mem=128M earlyprintk=yes showpfexc=1 console=ttyLv0
l4ankh.ankh_shm=shm tcp,nolock
ip=192.168.0.200:192.168.0.115:192.168.0.1:255.255.255.0::eth0:
l4x_rd=rom/drops-rd.rd root=1:0 ramdisk_size=20000 init=/bin/sh");

I have another question. I am trying to incorporate "Tigon3
driver" (Broadcom ethernet driver) into Ankh. Has anybody done that
successfully before?

This is how I am approaching it.
- I took tg3.c & tg3.h from linux-2.6.29/drivers/net and put it under
l4/pkg/ankh/server/netlib
- I am trying to add "PHY" device support to "dde-linux26_net" so that
tigon3 can be build.

I am still getting some link-time errors which I am trying to solve. My
question is, does this look like a right approach to you?
