I didn't see this on netfilter-devel. Forwarding to netfilter for Yasuyuki's benefit. ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: Harvey Muller <hlmuller@xxxxxxxxx> To: netfilter-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2007 11:45:16 AM Subject: [RFC][PATCH][IPTABLES]: suppress the error of modprobe Yasuyuki, I was unable to patch using the text you provided in the post, as it kept complaining about malformed text. I did however make the corrections by hand using the iptables 1.3.7 release, and created a patch. What I noticed is that all of the line numbers match in your post match, except for those in ip6tables.c. So you may have made changes to a version different than that noted above. The patch applies successfully, but the following error message is emitted during make: === Error Message Starts === ip6tables.c:1749: error: conflicting types for 'ip6tables_insmod' include/ip6tables.h:174: error: previous declaration of 'ip6tables_insmod' was here make: *** [ip6tables.o] Error 1 rm libiptc/libip6tc.o libiptc/libip4tc.o === Error Message Ends === I hope this is helpful and best regards, Harvey
