I haven't time yet to look at the packages you sent me, so I don't know the exact details of your build process. > With ipset 4.5 I was able to include all ipset "modules" as part of the > kernel (i.e. all ipset-related options in my .config were "y" as oppose > to "m"). > > In ipset 6.5 I cannot do that - the only choice I seem to have is "m" or > not include them at all. So, I was wondering why that is, that's all? I think you have got NETFILTER_NETLINK_QUEUE, NETFILTER_NETLINK_LOG or NF_CT_NETLINK selected as module, and in consequence NETFILTER_NETLINK as module too. And because the ipset kernel modules depend on NETFILTER_NETLINK, then those can be selected as modules only too.
