Based on Roman's comment that a patch was merged for 2.6.29, I've
confirmed this patch is indeed in the latest Karmic Alpha kernel (see
commit id below). I'm marking this Fix Released for Karmic which will
target a 2.6.31 kernel and has most recently rebased with 2.6.31-rc2
from upstream. Images
Please ask Jan Engelhardt (jengelh at medozas de) whether there is a patch for
2.6.28. Since it perfectly works with kernel 2.6.29, a diff of xt_recent.c
might reveal the required changes (see attachment).
I think, the struct to union transition is a good point to start.
** Attachment added:
Roman, has this patch been sent upstream? Could you provide me with a
pointer? If so, I could cherry-pick that patch into 9.04

iptables recent match broken
This morning (after a good night's rest) I refined my tests and came to
this pattern:
with Kernel 2.6.28: /proc/net/xt_recent/* have no effect on iptables
rules. I did not test /proc/net/ipt_recent/* (requires Kernel option
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_RECENT_PROC_COMPAT which is not set in Jaunty)
There is a patch for kernel 2.6.29 that fixes the compat path issue
(thanks to Jan Engelhardt and the Netfilter team).
