I'd also send things that need additional userspace-patches (like length) as kernel patch 1-n + iptables patch 1-n, but closely together. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-dev= el" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
