this is what I get while make modules: Circular /usr/src/linux-2.4/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ip_conntrack_helper.h <- /usr/src/linux-2.4/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ip_conntrack.h dependency dropped. ... -DKBUILD_BASENAME=ip_nat_helper -c -o ip_nat_helper.o ip_nat_helper.c ip_nat_helper.c: In function `ip_nat_resize_packet': ip_nat_helper.c:87: warning: unused variable `data' ip_nat_helper.c: In function `ip_nat_helper_register_Rd18d114e': ip_nat_helper.c:493: warning: concatenation of string literals with __FUNCTION__ is deprecated ip_nat_helper.c: In function `ip_nat_helper_unregister_R2560cbea': ip_nat_helper.c:577: warning: concatenation of string literals with __FUNCTION__ is deprecated there's no error at the end of make modules and make modules_install but when I try for example insmod ip_nat_irc ports=6667,6660, I'm receiving such error: unable to load module ip_conntrack_irc ip_nat_irc: error registering helper for port 6660 I suppose there are some missing netfilter modules so I copied ip_nat_helper Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. in /usr/src/linux-2.4.21 match all in netfilter configuration as modules 2. build kernel,modules and instal modules 3. modprobe ip_nat_irc ports=6667,XXXX (whatever) 4. copy from kernel sources ip_nat_helper module into /lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter 5. depmod -a -F /usr/src/linux/System.map Actual Results: Can not properly masquerade IRC Connections.

we do not patch the vanilla-sources. if the maintainers @ kernel.org update it, so will we. other than that, we provide the released kernels from kernel.org as-is. however, we do provide many gentoo-patched kernels that may be better for you such as gs-sources, gentoo-sources, & pfeifer-sources. a description of gentoo kernels: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-kernel.xml http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/kernel/ Jay
