The kernel tree is a little behind the ipset development, the most recent 3.x kernel (not 3.0.x) is around ipset 6.9.1. > To be more precisely, i have 3.0.X ipset kernelspace and i want to know > which version i have to download and build to have the proper userspace > part.

That's a bug in the ipset userspace tool then and I'll look into it: the program should have reported that the type was unsupported by the kernel. > So is 6.3 the right ipset userspace version?

I suggest you to use both the kernel and userspace from the ipset package if you want to use the 3.0.x kernel tree.
