Will the patch
http://bridge.sourceforge.net/devel/bridge-nf/bridge-nf-0.0.6-against-2.4.17.diff
be included in mainstream?
It enables firewalling with bridging.
Best regards.

No. The issues of this have been discussed on the netfilter developer meeting
(where Lennert was also present) - there's a summary available at
http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/events/netfilter-ws-2001-summary.txt
The basic issue is that it adds multiple new struct sk_buff members, which
is generally not considered as a good idea by the networking gods ;)
