patch for 2.6 series works fine on it. The problems found on 2.6.10 related to non-linear skbs should be
fixed on 2.6.11. further tests are adviced. Please let us know if you have
any problems using it.
IPtables 1.3.1 is out too and it just contains minor bug fixes so the
patch for 1.3.0

2005-03-03
There seens to be problems on 2.6.10 related to non-linear skbs that may
cause oops under certain circunstances. This may or may not be IMQ
related. If you have no reason to use 2.6.10 it is adviseble to keep on
2.6.9. For those who need it the following thread from netdev is worth
reading here.

Norbi. Here goes the links:

At 2004-09-08 we released a new patch for kernels <= 2.6.7 that solves some problems and introduces new
features. Now it is time to release a version with saame results for kernel >=2.6.8. The new patch is
available here. Please let us know how it works for you.
2004-09-09
Thanks to Norbert Buchmuller now we have a WikI for our FAQ. For some time
we'll have to live with both, the actual FAQ and the WiKi one. This way
people may contribute much more with information.
It can be accessed from here IMQ WiKi
Tks Norbi for putting it up!
2004-09-08
Finally we have a new IMQ version for 2.6 Linux kernel series. It should
be applied on versions <=2.6.7. All prior patchs are deprecated. The
following changes are included:
- Correction of ipv6 support "+"s issue (Hasso Tepper)
- Correction of imq_init_devs() issue that resulted in kernel OOPS
unloading IMQ as module (Norbert Buchmuller)
- Addition of functionality to choose number of IMQ devices during kernel
config (Andre Correa)
- Addition of functionality to choose how IMQ hooks on PRE and POSTROUTING
(after or before NAT) (Andre Correa)
- Cosmetic corrections (Norbert Buchmuller, Andre Correa)
There are some patchs sent by users that are on queue. Sorry!
This version definetly solves problems with modules. No more "modules are
not adviced". Cool!
Please download it from: linux-2.6.7-imq1.diff
A patch for >2.6.8 is still pending and should be out in a
couple of days.
We look forward for users' feedback!
2004-08-16
Linux-2.6.8.1 is out and a minor change on
net/sched/sch_generic.c and the moving of qdisc_run() to net/core/dev.c as
static forced us to release a new IMQ patch this time:
linux-2.6.8-imq-2.diff.
Thanks to Daniel Blueman and Patrick McHardy for helping on it. Please let
us know if you somehow get in trouble with it.
2004-08-09
A new version of 2.4 series kernel was released on 2004-08-07: 2.4.27. In
our tests the actual IMQ patch for 2.4 applies and works fine on it.
Please let us know if you have any trouble.
2004-06-27
We missed netfilter's team announcement of iptables-1.2.11, so there was
a delay testing IMQ's patch on it. Anyways, according to our tests
there are no problems applying, compiling and using IMQ on this
version too. Iptables changelog shows that a minor problem, related to
compilation forced then to issue this new version. Have fun!
2004/06/21
There is a new version of iptables: 1.2.10 that has being released on
2004-06-16. The current version of IMQ patch for iptables applies and
compiles with no errors.
The name of the patch file has being changed to something more
meaningfull: iptables-1.2.9-imq1.diff.
Please report any problems found.
2004/06/16
The new kernel version 2.6.7 has being release today and our tests show
that the actual IMQ patch works fine on this version as well as in the
last 2 or 3 kernel releases.
There are plans to release a new IMQ patch soon and this one is supossed
to address some of the pending problems including: IMQ as modules
and to solve the broken ipv6 support. We urge everybody who has
"personal" patchs to contribute then sending to our mailing list.
2004/05/10
The new kernel version 2.6.6 was made available last night. The latest
IMQ patch for 2.6 series applies cleanly on it. No new problems expected.
Have fun!
2004/05/06
Philip Thiem sent us a working IMQ patch for 2.4.26 kernel that addresses
the missing netfilter stuff. This patch should be applied the usual way
(patch -p1 <patch_file> in the kernel source directory).
Don't forget to set CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_IMQ=y and CONFIG_IMQ=y in
the kernel config.
Iptables patch should be applied to the sources as well.
Recompile and reinstall everything and you should be ready to go.
Thanks for helping Philip.
2004/04/18
Some users asked about using IMQ with iptables-1.2.9, so we manged to
produce a patch that should be applied directly to iptables-1.2.9 source
directory. This patch has being made available until we manage to get a
patch-o-matic/ng patch working. The patch can be downloaded from
iptables-1.2.9-imq1. Consult our FAQ
for information on using it. Please report your experiences with it and come
back later for more info on patch-o-matic. Our thanks to Joshue Martin
for pointing it out.
2004/04/14
The 2.4.26 kernel version has being released today. The latest 2.4 patch applies cleanly to it.
Norbert Buchmuller pointed out that Debian kernel-source-* packages are
not the same as the kernel.org kernels. These kernels have some patchs
applied on then, so the IMQ patch fails on skbuff.h. Those using Debian
kernel-source packages should take a look at our FAQ for more information
on how to apply Norbert's patch or use one of the other available options.
2004/04/05
The Linux Kernel 2.6.5 has being released on 2004/04/04. The actual
IMQ patch linux-2.6.2-imq4.diff
apply and works fine. We look forward to feedback from users.
2004/03/31
Help Wanted:
We need help fixing two know IMQ problems and new feature requests.
Those problems are: compiling IMQ as modules on Linux 2.6 and kernel OOPs
touching locally generated traffic.
Personal IMQ implementations: There has being some discussions at
LARTC mailing list about two personal IMQ implementations. For what we
know one of those projects is run by Roy and the other by Jiri Fojtasek.
More information about then may be found in its home pages, see Links
below.
This website and the linuximq mailing list are dedicated to the original
IMQ implementation as we believe it is the most stable and
reliable. We advice everybody who needs IMQ to use the original
implementation and report any bugs or problems found.
2004/03/15
The new kernel version 2.6.4 has being released in 03/11 and the IMQ patch
for 2.6.2 applies fine on this version as well as to 2.6.3 and 2.6.2.
Please let us know if your have any trouble with it. Positive feedback is also welcome.
2004/02/23
There is a new patch for Linux kernels 2.6.2 and 2.6.3. This patch
works for 2.6.1 too. Please have a look
and let us know. For IMQ to work you need to apply the patch for
iptables patch-o-matic from 2003-06-25 to the latest iptables
patch-o-matic. Have a look at the "Latest patchs" section.
2004/02/03
There is a patch for Linux-2.6.1 in the patchs section. Please have a look
and let us know if you have any problems.
We've got an IRC channel up and running (tks to Micheal Renzmann). You can
reach us at #linuximq at irc.oftc.net . There are archives of all the talk
in this channel accessible via http://bot.otaku42.de. Enjoy!
2004/01/30
This is the first alpha version of this page that is being mantained by a
groupd of people interrested in IMQ and on its future development. You
can reach us subscribing our mailing list at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/linuximq
Right now we are trying to put together as much information as possible
about IMQ, patchs and FAQs. Please send us any information you have
related to IMQ.
Some information on this page has being taken from the last maintainer's
web site (Tks to Mr. Patrick McHardy - http://trash.net/~kaber/imq/).
