I confirm I can't get 'action ipt -j MARK' working on debian lenny
(stable) with distro's iptables/tc. I'm not able to compile tc from
vanilla sources properly either - configure fails 3 IPT tests. (I
admit I can miss setting some (undocumented?) config variables.) So,
with or without debian, IMHO iproute2 needs some updates for iptables
1.4.2, 1.4.3, and maybe even 1.4.4 now.
