Development of l7-filter has moved to the Clear Foundation. These pages are out of date, but will remain as a historical record.

Kernel compatibility (for the kernel version)

In theory, l7-filter is compatible with all versions of Linux 2.6 and all recent versions of Linux 2.4. But you don't want to know about theory. Here is what we really know about the compatibility of l7-filter with various kernel versions. Notes:

This is not an exclusive list. If a kernel version is not shown, it simply means we have not tested it (since compiling this list). If you need to know whether all -mm kernels work or something, let us know.
Kernels that we remember working, but that we have not retested since making this list are marked "pretty sure".
At least one version y of each early 2.6.x.y kernel has been tested to actually work, but we didn't keep notes of which one before making this list, so they are all marked "untested".
It is extremely likely that any 2.4 kernel newer than what is listed here works even if we don't list it, since the 2.4 branch is very stable.
Recent kernel versions that don't work are automatically on our TODO list. Old kernel versions that we don't think anyone will actually use are not.

Skip to the latest 2.6 version | Skip to the latest 2.4 version.
