Sorry for the slow reply. 2.4 has more modules then 2.6, so some libraries won't be compiled under 2.6, which gives less functionality. Also, 2.6 is in contrib, and iptables is in main, so compiling it under 2.6 just won't happen anyway. > anyone contacted netfilter guys and asked if this breakage under 2.6 > is intentional or a bug? Good idea, I should have thought of that right away. I asked, but nothing has come out yet. I've put an iptables_kernel-2.6 package in contrib now, and it seems that this will be the "fix" for mdk 9.2. Olav, could you test the package? It works for me. -- Marcel Pol
