Hi James, thanks for your reply :) I think the whole thing ipset consists of a kernel configuration and a user tool, which is available via emerge. Unfortunately, emerge still insists of patching the kernel, which is - according to your informations - unnecessary. I unemerged ipset with emerge, fetched a new version from the internet, reconfigured the kernel accordingly, recompiled the kernel and this weekend I hopefully will have time to taste the soup... ;) Best regards, Meino
