You'd have to clean-room it: get someone else to study the libipq source and write you a document specifying how to interface with the ip_queue module via netlink. Yourself, you should not look at the libipq source, only this other person. That would then allow you to write a non-GPL interface to ip_queue functionality. This is how the original third-party BIOS was designed and implemented, circumventing IBM's proprietary license on it. -- [ Tobias DiPasquale ] 0x636f6465736c696e67657240676d61696c2e636f6d
