Subject: [NETFILTER 19/20]: Mark old IPv4-only connection tracking scheduled for removal
Date: Sat,  2 Dec 2006 15:50:08 +0100 (MET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061202145312.1381.53582.sendpatchset@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20061202145241.1381.88698.sendpatchset@localhost.localdomain>

[NETFILTER]: Mark old IPv4-only connection tracking scheduled for removal

Also remove the references to "new connection tracking" from Kconfig.
After some short stabilization period of the new connection tracking
helpers/NAT code the old one will be removed.
