Hi,

I just MFCed the UDP Control Block, which is a prerequisite for merging
the NAT-T patch from HEAD (8) to 7-STABLE:
http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revision&revision=196192

I also merged back the NAT-T changes from FreeBSD 8/HEAD. This
will allow us to provide the same API for tools for FreeBSD 7 (with
patch) and stock FreeBSD 8.x and 9 (HEAD).

Before anyone is going to ask: no the NAT-T is not comittable to
FreeBSD 7-STABLE, so anyone on 7 will have to live with a patch.


In case you use tools that rely on the right version of a patch (like
ipsec-tools), I'd expect things to take a few days to get solved, so
do not expect that things will mysteriously just work.  Considering 8
is in BETA and I assume the ports tree will be frozen soon as well if
it is not yet, it might even take a few days longer.

This is mostly for the people doing the work, integrating things,
changing software to have something to work with.

Things have been bascially tested with a slightly modified to compile
ipsec-tools CVS HEAD checkout.


Last but not least - you can find the patch here:
