GeoIP match and kernel 2.6.19

GeoIP match and kernel 2.6.19

[Svein Olav Bjerkeset]

Hi,

After upgrading to kernel 2.6.19, I found that GeoIP match was once again 
broken. Since it seems the GeoIP match patchlet is not activly maintained 
anymore, I had a look at the source and compiled a patch that made it work 
on my system. The patch is against the latest official release (May 6th 
2006) at http://people.netfilter.org/peejix/patchlets/geoip.tar.gz and can 
be found here:

    http://bjerkeset.com/patches/geoip-match-2.6.19.patch.gz

An older patch for kernels 2.6.17.x and 2.6.18.x can be found here:

    http://bjerkeset.com/patches/geoip-match-2.6.17.patch.gz

The patches work for me on a Fedora Core 6 x86_64 with a custom built 
kernel, but I will make no promise that it works on your system - use at 
your own risk.

Best regards,
Svein Olav Bjerkeset

I uploaded the fixed version a few minutes ago. It should work with both
older and newer 2.6 kernels.

I gave it a try on 2.6.19 and seems to work fine. It also compiles good
on 2.6.15.

I would appreciate if someone could test a 2.6.16, 17 and 18 kernel.

Thanks for the help you provided to others while this module was
out-of-sync.
