Topic: ip autofw

I was looking at the linksys open source code since I was trying to compile their upnp sources and I notice that they have the extensions ip_autofw in their iptables library.

Where does this generally come ffrom since I don't see it in OpenWrt anywhere?

This code is from cybertan and/or Broadcom, even if released under the GPL licence, it is clearly used in their web interface, since openwrt does not implement the linksys web interface, there is no need to use it.

Their upnp implementation heavily depends on ip_autofw and ipt_time.h??

To remove it completely, I'd have to look at rewriting their netconf library..

The discussion might have continued from here.
