And largish networking updates: there's a "common netfilter" setup now, which you'll notice when you do "make config" or equivalent, since a lot of the netfilter rules now work on ipv4 and/or ipv6 rather than having separate (and duplicate) versions for each.
Hooray! Finally. ;)
Does this require modprobing of the modules by hand, or is there a version
of iptables in the pipe that knows how to do this? I checked the CVS snapshot
directory on ftp.netfilter.org last night, and the latest one there didn't
know about this yet.
