tcng questions: TCP_ACK, ebtables

Hi all,

I have a couple of questions regarding tcng behavior.

First - I want to mark TCP_ACK packets as high priority, a common case.  I
figured the tcp_ACK rule in fields4.tc would be enough but I've come
across Jason Boxman's tutorial and he recommends using:

class( <$ack> )
      if ip_len < 64 &&
      ip_hl == 0x5 &&
      (raw[33].b >> 4) & 0xff;

So basically the tcp_ACK rule doesn't work?  Has it been fixed?  Which way
is right?

Secondly - I was wondering if anyone is trying to use l7filter on a
bridging Ethernet setup.  It looks to me like the packets don't get to the
iptables layer so whatever marking I do with l7filter doesn't affect
packets going through the bridge, only packets addressed to the bridge
itself (which I have given an IP so that I can run some other things on
it).  Do I need to look into ebtables marking?  I don't know if l7filter
works with ebtables anyway.  Or am I doing something wrong?  The system
I'm working with is running Debian sarge and kernel 2.6.14.4 with the
l7filter patch.

Thanks for any help.
James
