CONNMARK problem

Hi ,

I am trying to add CONNMARK support to my kernel , and after compilation , the CONNMARK.o module is not made. This is what I done on my RedHat 9 system:

1. Get kernel sources : linux-2.4.26.tar.gz
2. Get: patch-o-matic-ng-20040302.tar.bz2
3. Apply patch only for CONNMARK ( using ./runme extra , and test
it with ./runme --test CONNMARK)
* Already applied:

Testing CONNMARK... applied

Excellent! Source trees are ready for compilation.
4. make menuconfig ,and using the old config ( importing RedHat Athlon config)
5. Selecting (like modules) :

         *   <M>   Connection state match support  
             <M>   Connection mark match support (NEW)
             <M>   Connection tracking match support 

6. finish to compile without any errors , but the CONNMARK.o module was not build
7. Trying to figure what went wrong , I saw that in .config there is not set CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_CONNMARK , which is required by Makefile to build the object :
obj-$(CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_CONNMARK) += ipt_CONNMARK.o
8. More, I checked Config.in file (from netfilter folder) and :
* if [ "$CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK_MARK" != "n" ]; then dep_tristate ' Connection mark match support' CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_CONNMARK $CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES fi
* As you see , it is testing if $CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK_MARK ( which is not set by anybody , and get true cause is not "n" ) and is setting: CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_CONNMARK as a module in ".config" file .
* Conclusion the only line in ".config" file regarding CONNTRACK is : CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_CONNMARK=m , so normaly that make is not building CONNMARK.o
9. I try to set manually in ".config" those variables, but is not working , I get some errors cause CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK_MARK is tested in ip_conntrack.h, and if it is set manually is not exported ...duno why.<><><>

<><>Any help will be appreciated .
Thank you ,
