require netfilter time patch for 2.6.18.3 kernel ... mine not works : time match: invalid size 0 != 16

Hello

I've applied the netfilter time patch to my 2.6.18.3 kernel. I use a 2.6.18.3 from kernel.org (I mean not a distribution package) +iptables 1.3.6 debian sarge backport from backports.org

in the iptables package,the time patch is included ( libipt_time.c, .test-time)
but include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_time.h is required too and this file is not available in my kernel.

I've trie with pom without success because try to apply many patch except the time patch ...
So I've search on google and I found one! It applied correctly and I can compile my kernel ...

What happens is that seems that the time patch is incompatible with 2.6.18.3 kernel
I found on google a post that tell this patch works with a 2.16.15 but not with 2.6.17 due to change on somes internals kernel features

As you can see the patch is detected :

#iptables -m time --help
...
TIME v1.3.6 options:
[ --timestart value ] [ --timestop value] [ --days listofdays ] [
--datestart value ] [ --datestop value ]
timestart value : HH:MM (default 00:00)
timestop value : HH:MM (default 23:59)
Note: daylight savings time changes are not
tracked

          listofdays value: a list of days to apply
                            from Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat,Sun
                            Coma speparated, no space, case sensitive.
                            Defaults to all days.
          datestart value : YYYY[:MM[:DD[:hh[:mm[:ss]]]]]
                            If any of month, day, hour, minute or second is
                            not specified, then defaults to their smallest
                            1900 <= YYYY < 2037
                               1 <= MM <= 12
                               1 <= DD <= 31
                               0 <= hh <= 23
                               0 <= mm <= 59
                               0 <= ss <= 59
          datestop  value : YYYY[:MM[:DD[:hh[:mm[:ss]]]]]
                            If the whole option is ommited, default to

never stop
If any of month, day, hour, minute or second is not specified, then default to their smallest

Unfortunately when I try to apply somes rules I obtain this

#iptables -A OUTPUT -m time --timestart 16:11
iptables: Invalid argument

and this in "dmesg"

Dec 12 18:37:05 gestor1 kernel: ip_tables: time match: invalid size 0 != 16
Dec 12 18:37:09 gestor1 kernel: ip_tables: time match: invalid size 0 != 16
Dec 12 18:37:51 gestor1 kernel: ip_tables: time match: invalid size 0 != 16

This patch should be very usefull for me. My customers ask me for this features on QOS anf firewall appliances.

I hope that someone can propose me a solution. seems that the orginal author doesn't maitain this patch ?
