Hi ,

I am trying to add CONNMARK support  to my kernel , and after 
compilation , the CONNMARK.o module is not made.
This is what I done on my RedHat 9 system:

   1. Get  kernel sources : linux-2.4.26.tar.gz 
   2. Get:  patch-o-matic-ng-20040302.tar.bz2
   3. Apply patch only for CONNMARK ( using  ./runme extra  , and test
      it with   ./runme --test CONNMARK)
          * Already applied:

            Testing CONNMARK... applied

            Excellent! Source trees are ready for compilation.
   4. make menuconfig ,and using the old config ( importing RedHat
      Athlon config)
   5. Selecting (like modules) :
          *   <M>   Connection state match support  
              <M>   Connection mark match support (NEW)
              <M>   Connection tracking match support 
   6. finish to compile without any errors , but  the CONNMARK.o module
      was not build
   7. Trying to figure what went wrong , I  saw that in .config there is
      not set CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_CONNMARK , which is required by
      Makefile to build the object :    
      obj-$(CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_CONNMARK) += ipt_CONNMARK.o
   8. More, I checked  Config.in file (from netfilter folder) and :
          * if [ "$CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK_MARK" != "n" ]; then
                  dep_tristate '  Connection mark match support'
            CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_CONNMARK $CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES
                fi
          * As you see , it is testing if  $CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK_MARK
            ( which is not set by anybody , and get true cause is not
            "n" ) and is setting: CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_CONNMARK as a
            module in ".config" file .
          * Conclusion the only line in ".config" file regarding
            CONNTRACK is : CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_CONNMARK=m  , so normaly
            that make is not building CONNMARK.o
   9. I try to set manually in ".config" those variables, but is not
      working , I get some errors cause CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK_MARK is
      tested in ip_conntrack.h, and if  it is set manually is not
      exported ...duno why.<><><>

Thank you ,
