Everything should be working for ipv4, ipv6 and inet without any further action (provided you want to use printk-based logging via dmesg rather than nfnetlink). > Tried with > > echo "nf_log_icmp" > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log/1 There is no layer 4 logger. nf_log_XXX, where XXX is a l3 protocol family, i.e. nf_log_{ipv4,ipv6,arp,bridge} or nfnetlink_log.
