[PATCH]: warn for icmp type 255

[PATCH]: warn for icmp type 255

[Patrick McHardy]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 211 bytes --]

This patch adds a warning if icmp-type 255 is given. Maybe we should fix 
this
right in 2.6 as long as it's still possible, even if that means having 
some #ifdefs
in the userspace code ?

Best regards,
Patrick
