So maybe we could carry it in Buildroot? > http://www.spinics.net/lists/netfilter-devel/msg33996.html Still, there is a valid point in this reply: do we know of a FLOSS C++ package that uses the iptables binary interface? If so, that would be interesting to see how they handle that situation. And it would be a nice shoe to stick in the door so that patch can enter the kernel. Regards, Yann E.
