Hello,

for some time now we have been using the nf-HIPAC patch in our firewalls' kernels
and I'm glad to say it works nicely. Our firewalls still run 2.4.x kernels. Ever 
since the introduction of x-tables in the 2.6.x branch, the nf-HIPAC patch no 
longer applies.

I found a patch at 
http://www.kernelproject.org/people/jhpark/nf-hipac-0.9.1-to-linux-2.6.16.16.patch
by Jeho-Park, which should allow me to compile 2.6.16.16 with nf-HIPAC. 

Has anyone tried this patch ?

I'm not sure what the future of nf-HIPAC is. I'd like it very much if the 
mainstream kernel came with nf-HIPAC by default, but I see no indications that 
anything is moving in that direction.

Is nf-HIPAC still being worked on ?
Is it still on the TODO-list to integrate nf-HIPAC into the mainstream kernel ?

kind regards,
