My Gentoo router kernel panics with an skb_over_panic message when Netfilter connection tracking (nf_conntrack) is built into the kernel or built as a module and I start net.ath0 (madwifi-ng) in master mode. I've tried hardened-2.6.23, hardened-2.6.24, madwifi-0.9.3.3, and madwifi-0.9.4.
nf_conntrack seems to be required in order for NAT to work, so I've been looking for alternatives. I found mention of "Fast NAT" and "nf_nat", both of which are supposed to be alternatives to nf_conntrack, but maybe they are no longer existent because I can not Google specifics on either and I can't find them in the kernel. I've put 16 or so hours into this so far so I'll head to Staples for a temporary Linksys soon. I sure would like to have Gentoo routing though. Please let me know if you have any ideas. - Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
