no ctnetlink kernel support

[seblo]

i,

I try to setup a conntrackd but I am stucked:
Code:

[Wed Aug 22 16:47:49 2007] (pid=13629) --- starting in console mode ---
[Wed Aug 22 16:47:50 2007] (pid=13629) [FAIL] can't open netlink handler! no ctnetlink kernel support?

I serched for ctnetlink but I found either modules that didn't fit or .c files, and I also looked in the menuconfig but I didn't find it... I don't know what it is and I don't know how to get it? Has anybody an idea?

thanks,
seb.

If you don't find it in menuconfig, then I guess that you have to patch the kernel first... What's your kernel version?

hi, I am using the 2.6.22.1
I never patched a kernel, could you explain how it could be done?

thanks

I have googled a bit, and I think that ctnetlink support is now included in the kernel. Are you sure there was no such option during make menuconfig?

What's the output of grep -i ctnetlink /boot/config-`uname -r`?
