I'm about to commit a couple of patches from some private trees to my nf-next-2.6.git tree. Any comments welcome.
commit ec4988f91a1750b181cfc87461c3df48b0ab0fc7 Author: Patrick McHardy <kaber@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Aug 25 14:21:24 2009 +0200 netfilter: nf_conntrack: log packets dropped by helpers Log packets dropped by helpers using the netfilter logging API. This is useful in combination with nfnetlink_log to analyze those packets in userspace for debugging.
