To make Xtables-addons's compat_xtables.ko work with all supported kernel versions, it has to slightly deviate from the latest kernel API and use a double-pointer. So if you write your module with the help of the compat layer, you need to be aware of this minor difference. I think the latest version of the e-book also mentions this. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
