Hi

I have just updated my Asus WL-500W to 8.09.1 and i am now getting these errors:

user.info sysinit: sysctl: error: 'net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_checksum' is an unknown key
user.info sysinit: sysctl: error: 'net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_checksum' is an unknown key

Everything appears to be working ok as far as I can see, can anyone tell me what these errors mean please and how to get rid of them?

Thanks

Dave

Remove the offending keys from /etc/sysctl.conf . Looks like they belong to some netfilter stuff that's not present in the current kernel.

Just a symptom of having a sysctl.conf shared between 2.4 and 2.6 based kernels, no?

The discussion might have continued from here.
