Hi Patrick Please find following patch to prepare next one (loop unrolling) I am not sure xt_physdev_info is aligned, either on an int or a long, so please check my assertion before applying :) Thank you [PATCH] netfilter: xt_physdev fixes 1) physdev_mt() incorrectly assumes nulldevname[] is aligned on an int 2) It also uses word comparisons, while it could use long word ones.
