LARTC - Apr 2007 - IPMark won''t compile on a vanilla 2.6.20 kernel

Hello,

IPMark won''t compile on a vanilla 2.6.20 kernel
I obtain this error during the compilation under debian sarge 3.1

  CC [M]  net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_TTL.o
  CC [M]  net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_IPMARK.o
net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_IPMARK.c: In function `target'':

Any ideas ?

I think that IPMARK isn''t maintained for some time now. 

If you need IPMARK for shaping upload (most probable scenario), then
use IFB + hashing u32 filters instead. Works for me.
