Hi,

Sergio Montero resent a netfilter's related patch to the linux-net 
maillist which fixes a circular dependency in 2.4 branch. It's not 
serious. Anyway, can someone confirm that the patch is ok?

thanks,
Pablo

P.S: actually i'm not sure if forwarding this email is the correct 
thing, if it's not, please let me know.

Hi

Can you apply this patch into kernel-2.4.2x ? for work with IP
Masquerade.

Reference:
http://lists.netfilter.org/pipermail/netfilter-devel/2002-November/009928.html

In begin, I apply this patch on redhat 7.3 box and thought this is a
specific problem of RedHat compiler, but I see exactly the same 
dependency dropped on a slackware-9.1 with kernel 2.4.25 and gcc3.3, do
me a favor and apply this mini patch.
