Hi, i'm trying a simple lkm tht register a hook in PF_BRIDGE protocol, also registers a queue_handler for the same. the hook function simply returns NF_QUEUE for all IP pakcets. i'm trying this out in 2.6.18-8.el5 (centos 5.0) it seems like pkts are queuing up, but the _problem_ is queue_handler is not getting invoked. plz refer to the code below. (NOTE: the same program worked fine in my rh9 (ie 2.4 kernel), of course with minor nf API modification)
The bridge netfilter code doesn't register an afinfo with the netfilter core, so queueing drops the packets. Its actually not needed since bridge netfilter doesn't need to reroute anyways. So you basically need to change the __nf_queue function to only invoke the af-specific functions if an afinfo is available.
