This package is a GPL implementation of an iptables and netfilter module for OpenDPI integration into the Linux kernel. The prerequisites are: - Tested on Debian 6.0 (Kernel 2.6.32-5) - Following packages to compile kernel-modules: linux-headers iptables-dev >= version 1.4.8-3 OpenDPI source package Compiled kernel features ------------------------ You do not need to do the below steps for Debian 6 In order to use OpenDPI as a kernel module notice that: - You should ENABLE Netfilter conntrack events (and also enable Advanced netfilter features to see it). In kernel 2.6.34 its defined as: Connection tracking events Symbol: NF_CONNTRACK_EVENTS Location: -> Networking support -> Networking options -> Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter) -> Core Netfilter Configuration -> Netfilter connection tracking support - If your kernel version is 2.6.31 or greater, then you should DISABLE Netfilter conntrack for the Netlink protocol. In kernel 2.6.34 its defined as: Connection tracking netlink interface Symbol: NF_CT_NETLINK Location: -> Networking support -> Networking options -> Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter) -> Core Netfilter Configuration -> Netfilter connection tracking support Once you have downloaded/installed each package and checked for the above kernel features you can read the INSTALL file.
