Hi,
with Red Hat Linux 7.3 and gcc 2.96-113=20
I have this error that prevents networking works=20
make[2]: Circular
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-pre3/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ip_conntrack_helper=
.h <- /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-pre3/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ip_conntrack.=
h dependency dropped.

I found this patch in this email=20
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0211.3/1059.html
thats works for me.=20

This circular dependency problem is in almost kernel version, pr=E9
version and RCs since 2.4.20 at least.
please CC me
thanks
