This problem is not related with the problem I had at this moment. The "old" problem was about an output problem with ip6_local_out. I was= =20 at this time on an old debian testing (between lenny and squeeze) and=20 the update to "complete" squeeze solved the problem, so I thought that=20 it was a problem related to my OS situation. Now that you say that, I have realized that ip6_local_out (which I don'= t=20 use anymore, I use ip6_output) was creating kernel panic when asked to=20 send an IPv6 packet with a size higher than the link mtu, should have=20 talked about it earlier though. The little complain about NATIVI=20 (http://www.spinics.net/lists/netfilter-devel/msg18248.html) was that n= o=20 kernel / Xtables developers told me they wanted the module inside the=20 kernel/Xtables or even sent me a remark about it and therefore could=20 take care about the missing "EXPORT_SYMBOL". This module is developed inside Xtables and therefore doesn't need to=20 recompile a kernel. While I'm sending you an e-mail, I may contribute to your very=20 interesting "Writing Netfilter modules" ebook. I had to deal with checksums changes/update in both IPv4 and IPv6 and=20 may contribute to this section (5.7) if you still need someone to :-).
