From a3c479772c9f4239749950e7c8ea0e9c914a9d7e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick McHardy Date: Sat, 2 Dec 2006 22:11:01 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [NETFILTER]: Mark old IPv4-only connection tracking scheduled for removal Also remove the references to "new connection tracking" from Kconfig. After some short stabilization period of the new connection tracking helpers/NAT code the old one will be removed. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S.
