ERRATA Re: [PATCH] fix for netfilter/nat/pppoe crashes (hopefully)

[Holger Brueckner]

hi marc,

thanks for the patch, i hope it works ... but :)

unfortunately i can't apply it. against which kernel version is that patch
?!?
it doesn't work with plain 2.4.7
i tried applying it by hand, but most of the code in 2.4.7 looks completley
different than the reference code in the patch :(

cya

Holger
