I totally agree with you, it could be great to fix netlink to support multiple queue. I like to be able to use projects like snort-inline or nufw together. This will make Netfilter really stronger. Furthermore, there's a repetition of filtering capabilities with such a solution. Netfilter has to filter to send to netlink and this is the same with the queue dispatcher. I think this introduce too much complexity. my 0.02$ BR, -- Éric Leblond, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Téléphone : 01 44 89 46 40, Fax : 01 44 89 45 01 INL, http://www.inl.fr - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
