LARTC - Jul 2005 - Getting the IMQ target to work.

Sorry to bug the list with this, but I can''t get past it.

littlebear ~ # /usr/local/sbin/iptables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -o
eth0 -j IMQ --todev 0
iptables v1.3.1-20050701: Unknown arg `--todev''
Try `iptables -h'' or ''iptables --help'' for more
information.


I''ve tried every combination of patching and recompiling that I can
come up with, although this is my first time manually applying
patches.  I''m on gentoo (2.6.11-gentoo-r9) which claims to support IMQ
when using the +extensions USE keyword (which I am).  I also hand
patched and compiled iptables which didn''t work either.  Can anyone
point me in the right direction or maybe to a step by step
patching/compiling guide?

Thanks,

Edward

One important thing is that the two files

    extensions/.IMQ-test6
    extensions/.IMQ-test

which are created when you are patching iptables source, must be 
executable. Only when the iptables make
script can run these IMQ-test files, they will be included in the build 
process. So a simple chmod can help you.

Cheers,
Andreas
